Direct Inspect: Accurate Roof Damage Assessments

Why Adjusters Need Direct Inspect for Safe, Precise Roof Damage Assessment
Through direct home inspections, adjusters can rely on Patriot’s trained professionals to conduct a full on-site inspection, gather all necessary documentation, and deliver a detailed report without requiring the adjuster to be physically present.
The result is a safer, more consistent, and exact property inspection service designed to support adjusters, property managers, and insurance carriers in making informed decisions about roof damage claims.
Overview of Direct Inspect Services
Direct Inspect is a specialized inspection service offered by Patriot Claims that simplifies the home inspection process for adjusters and carriers. The program allows the Patriot team to perform an on-site assessment, take over 180 photos, measure, and provide a comprehensive report—all without the adjuster having to be on-site or on video.
Each direct home inspection includes:
- A full on-site inspection conducted by trained professionals
- High-resolution photos capturing every angle of the damage
- Precise roof and property measurements
- Clear documentation of affected areas and potential issues
- A professional, easy-to-read home inspection report
This thorough inspection ensures that every structural and surface concern—from missing shingles to mold growth or wood-destroying organisms—is documented accurately. Adjusters can then rely on this verified data to process claims faster and with greater confidence.
Patriot Claims’ Direct Inspect services are fully insured, and each inspector is trained to identify defects, structural concerns, and environmental risks that could affect the property’s condition. The team understands how to determine a roof’s integrity after wind or storm impact, ensuring that the entire process supports clear claim outcomes.
