9Working With Your Adjuster in Mission Bay
As a rule, we do not advise filing a Mission Bay claim where the damage is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record. A Mission Bay adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. That is as true in Mission Bay as anywhere in San Francisco County. As a rule, most Mission Bay claims that fail do so given that the harm was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. We see it on Mission Bay roofs every week. Code upgrade cover decides whether a Mission Bay claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. Policies covering Mission Bay properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
A Mission Bay inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. We see it on Mission Bay roofs every week. Drone access on steep or fragile Mission Bay roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Realistically, photographs with dates are part of every Mission Bay inspection, given that an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.
