The snow cover is going to take a hit, that's for sure but I think there will be more left than you're thinking.

 

 

Lol...he does this every single time.

 

It'll be mostly gone by probably the middle to end of next week outside the wooded areas, but you aren't melting 12-16" of hard pack in one day in the 50s.

How is that damage $50k? Wow...

Does all the sheet rock and insulation got to be redone? Ceilings? Wiring?

Will insurance cover it? That sucks

 

All of interior walls are coming out. All of the insulation is soaked.  They came in with infrared cameras to see all of the water damage.  Entire kitchen coming out.

 

Liberty mutual initial adjustor $1,200 in damage

 

Second water mitigation specialist came out...no real water damage.   I decided to start cutting holes in my walls. "well what do you know, water everywhere".

 

Second adjustor $10k in damage.

 

Public adjustor I hired $50k- $60k

My parents more than likely have at least 10k in damage too and their neighbor had what appeared to be structural damage from weight on roof with a wall separating from another.

 

Scott tell them to call a public adjustor.  The insurance adjustors hired by the insurance company suck.

He melts it to CAR everytime it rains from Dec-Mar.

The real damage may be more like Friday or so before it tries to freeze up at night. Usually like it takes the first day to ripen the pack and a cold pack puts up with it for like 24-36 hours, but then from 36-48 hours it starts to flow fast...it'll take some time to losen it up if you guys are standing on 18" of ice.

Yeah, I was talking about this back during the first wave of melt...the pack really ripened to like a 3 to 1 W.E. ratio, but it didn't all release because before it had a chance, we froze it solid again...and got very cold. The temp of that pack really cooled back big time, so it's been tough to melt it off until the whole thing warms up again.

 

I could see the damage being slow in the first 12-18 hours of the torch and then finally gaining some momentum. But we'll refreeze it again on the weekend.

The adjustors working for insurance company have an incentive to low ball or "see no water damage" don't they?

 

I would say a Public adjustor is almost always best way to go, no?

 

You had to cut freakin holes in your wall to show those "experts" there is something wrong, I mean c'mon smells like adjustors working for insurance company's are low balling people to save company money (if I understand the process correctly)

It's almost Napril. This is different

 

The dynamics of melting snow don't change just because it is late in the year. The sun angle being higher will cause some more sublimation...but we need more than that to rid ourselves of a 15" glacier and in any case, Thursday will be quite cloudy. A 50F light rain event will act pretty similar to winter in this case with a bit of sun angle aid. We're coming off some cold weather so the pack temperature is pretty low...so we'll lose a chunk...but the areas that have 12"+ aren't going in one day.

Three things are happening

 

1) Insurance adjustors are not qualified builders. They find only what they know to find.

 

2) Insurance companies software on how much it costs to do work in the northeast vs how much its costs in Indiana are night and day.

 

3) They instructed to not go probing into walls. I have foil backed sheetrock common in 1980s builds. The moisture meters were reading zero.  When I showed the adjustors that I had tons of water damage in the basement ceiling (above grade) they played dumb. The only way it could be getting there was through the walls from the roof.   They blamed broken pipes in the walls for which I had to prove to them wasn't the case but actually cutting into walls.

Well my thinking is we stay above freezing from tomorrow night until Saturday Am sometime. And dews in the 55-60 degree range during most of Thursday with rain, strong winds and even the possibility of thunderstorms.. I just don't see how we can keep much of anything
