Storm claim paperwork
Insurance Claim Detach and Reset in Crestwood, IL
When storm damage means a new roof under your panels, you get a clear, itemized scope for the solar portion of the claim.
A Solar Line Your Adjuster Can Follow
Hail and wind hit the south suburbs hard some springs. When an adjuster signs off on a new roof for a Crestwood home with solar, there is one line that tends to cause confusion: taking the panels off and putting them back. Some estimates leave it out. Others lump it into a single number nobody can explain. We fix that by writing a detach and reset scope you can actually follow. It breaks the work into its real parts: electrical shutdown and disconnect, removal of the panels, racking and conduit, labeling and storage, new mounts and flashing on the new roof, reinstallation, reconnection and a production test. Photos of the array before anything moves go with it, so the condition of the system is on record. You or your roofer can pass that package along with your claim file. One thing we want plain: the claim is yours and stays yours. We do not negotiate with your insurance company or speak for you. We give you accurate, claim-ready documentation, coordinate dates with your roofer and, if you want us to, explain the solar work when the adjuster has questions. Whether the detach and reset gets paid for comes down to your policy and what the adjuster includes, not to anything we write.
What the Claim Package Includes
Built so the solar portion of your roof claim is clear to everyone reading it.
Itemized scope
Removal, storage, mounts, flashing, reinstall and testing listed as separate lines.
Before photos
The array, wiring and roof condition captured before any panel is touched.
Panel count and layout
A written record of how many panels you have and where each one sits.
Baseline production reading
Output recorded before removal, so the reset can be checked against it later.
Roofer coordination
Removal set ahead of tear-off and reinstall booked after the new roof is done.
Adjuster questions answered
When you ask us to, we explain the solar work so the scope makes sense.
Supplement support
If hidden damage turns up under the panels, we document it for you to submit.
After-job records
Post-reset photos and production numbers to close out your file.
How a Claim Job Works
Tell us where the claim stands
Maybe the adjuster has been out already, or maybe you are still waiting. Either way, we talk through the roof, the panels and your roofer, then come look at the array.
Get your documentation
You receive the itemized scope and photos, usually within 48 hours. You decide how it goes into the claim, whether you send it yourself or your roofer includes it.
Detach, reroof, reset
Once the job is approved and dated, we remove and store the array, your roofer replaces the roof, and we put the system back, test it and send the closing records.
