-
Tap on "Add Area no." to create the 1st area. This will open up Work Area 1 and allow you to start creating the details of that work area. This will allow you to confirm details of each area and detail what stabilisation work you have undertaken. It will also allow you to complete a moisture measurement plan and add in a number of readings for that area (though this may be required at the final stabilisation visit).
You can add in new areas by either tapping "Add Area no." again or by tapping the "+ Add" button that is on the 1st area. -

-
You need to provide details regarding the severity of the damage at the property.
-
What category does the damage fall into?

Minor structural: damage to plaster, flooring materials, etc.
Major structural: as minor but with damage to structural timbers, major roof damages, etc. -
Ensure that you consider the severity of the damage and highlight what would be required to minimise the potential for secondary damage.
-
Does the project require Building Consultant / Sergon involvement (refer to flags below)
-
Is it a flood or fire claim?
-
Is it an EOW claim likely to involve AA?
-
EOW were the kitchen or bathroom affected to a significant degree?
-
Are alternative facilities available within the property
-
Is it a claim where 4 or more rooms are affected?
-
Does the claim involve high cost items at risk (e.g. hardwood floor)?
-
Any other specific/complex issue?<br>(e.g. customer is vulnerable and needs to remain at home)
-
Provide additional information
-
If any 'RISK' indicators are positive the claims owner is to review with the Building Consultant / Sergon and provide an instruction, as appropriate, in accordance with agreed client guidelines. The information may be reviewed at the Building Assessment (stabilisation) call with the Building Consultant.
-
QUESTION FILTER - is the incident considered a 'Wet Peril' or there is a requirement for drying?
-
- Advise customer of any planned day 2 to 6 site activity, to complete stabilisation works within agreed D.A.
- Agree return date, with the customer, for the concluding visit for stabilisation; update Property Link due end date immediately with the same date.
- Ensure Building Assessment review is arranged with Building Consultant / Sergon, in line with client guidelines. -
Consider the complete 'Restoration' phase of the claim.
-
Will the property likely be dry within the initial stabilisation phase (7 days)?
-
What is the expected drying duration, including stabilisation (7 days)?
-
Given the nominal additional time; can you achieve Stabilisation +, by creation of a targeted/technical drying regime immediately by the use of polythene sheeting, directing heat/air flow or similar; to improve opportunity to complete restoration at conclusion of stabilisation phase.
-
Please ensure you consider alternative options and techniques to reduce the drying time, ready to discuss with the Building Consultant / Sergon / Claims Owner at the appropriate time (typically end of stabilisation).
-
- Recorded readings are not a priority as you have indicated the property is wet sufficiently for artificial drying to be likely. However, minimal readings would assist in understanding the severity of the incident.
- Consider area, number and type of measurements required for moisture readings. It is expected that all moisture measure points are installed following the Building Assessment / Post Stabilisation call, prior to leaving site.
- Advise customer of any planned day 2 to 6 site activity, to complete stabilisation works within agreed D.A.
- Agree return date, with the customer, for the concluding visit for stabilisation; update Property Link due end date immediately with the same date.
- Ensure Building Assessment / Post Stabilisation call is arranged with Building Consultant / Sergon for the same date. -
- Ensure readings are taken and recorded.
- Advise customer of any planned day 2 to 6 site activity, to complete stabilisation works within agreed D.A.
- Agree return date, with the customer, for final inspection, including final readings and completion of 'Termination of Drying' certificate. Record on Property Link as 'Due End' date.
- Ensure Building Assessment / Post Stabilisation call is arranged with Building Consultant / Sergon. -
