Advise-Retired from Roofs-15 yrs experience-What next? 1321 0
Started by 18539
Need some advice here..... I have enjoyed adjusting for 15 years and plan to keep doing it but want to retire my Cougar Paws and stay off steep roofs. I have paid my dues climbing all kinds of roofs from wood shakes to clay tile but am looking for the best fit for my skill set that does not involve climbing roofs.
Traveling is not a problem and in the beginning both my wife and I had adjuster license and we used our RV to go from CAT to CAT. It seems to me that Flood, Fire or Tota...

Flood Adjuster Qualifications Question? 5912 4
Started by hayesspen1969
I've heard there's a 'number of years waiver' for former military personnel. The number of years is 4 consecutive, I've heard the military waiver makes it 1 year. Does anyone know if this is true.

Flood related to fires 4212 5
Started by Leland
At my last NFIP certification class the instructor mentioned something about floods that are related to fires, he flashed something on the screen, maybe it was a new rule or guideline and he seemed to say something to the effect that nobody knows or ever heard of such a thing so let's go to the next slide.
I have attached a photo taken in Glendora Ca after the recent wildfires. Anybody guess what the government workers are doing in the photo And how it might relate to flooding

Flood damage to vapor barrier 4902 6
Started by MBoy
Can the vapor barrier on a structure be damaged by flood water&160; The wall in question is constructed in the following manner, from the outside in:
&160;
1.&160; Flat seam metal panels (copper)
2. Building paper
3.&160; 2 1/2 inch insulating board mechanically fastened to concrete masonry
4. 10 mil. poly vapor barrier
5. 8' concrete block
&160;
The argument put forth is everything to the concrete block needs to be replaced because of contact with flood water.&160;&160;

ATEC National Flood Services Certification ????? 9865 11
Started by KLS
NADO, ATEC (Adjuster Training and Education Centers) is advertising a certification requirement class for National Flood Services* this year. (www.atecgroup.org) along with some other carriers.&160; I've contacted vendors working claims regularly for NFS and they were not aware of any such requirement from NFS.&160; So, 'Know Before You Go' if you plan on spending the $125 for this.&160; It may simply be NADO's in-house requirement for these entities&160;but the advertising doesn't say that....

A Simsol Flood Adjuster having to use Xacti-nightmare 32287 70
Started by iCAT
Well guys and gals, I don't know if you have heard. The nationwide flood contract was acquired by NFS and Nationwide is expecting all flood claims to be written in Xactimate 25. I took on some and I can say is; I once had hair and&160;I guess this will save me on haircuts. I have been certified to write with it, but as most of the adjusters raised on Simsol, I did the best to avoid the program. It takes 3 times as long to write a file. This may change as I get use to working the program. I stil...
