The First Steps
Vessels are damaged for many reasons including wind damage, improper docking or securing lines, collision, lighting strikes, damage loading on lift or trailer, vessel flooding, etc. When these events occur, we find that dealers or other repair personnel may not be equipped with tools or knowledge to properly evaluate this loss or understand the liability of involvement in high value repairs. This has left many vessels with incomplete assessment of damage, and leaves many vessels improper repairs, undiscovered hidden damage, leading to future issues, like a failure of survey, paint or finish matching correctly, structural failures, water in vessel core and or transom, etc. Once out of pocket repairs are started involving your insurance to cover these expenses become most impossible.

Documentation
We start with one of the thought inspections for damage provided in the industry. Of process excess most standards required to thoroughly find damages to vessels to make sure your claim fully repairs your vessel and minimize down time. Many times your dealer or insurance inspector bases your claim on visual inspection, which leaves in most cases hidden damage that goes undiscovered and makes you liable over time.
We perform moisture mapping, this performed through an infrared camera, this detects water intrusion damage with opening the structure of the vessel
ultrasound inspected for nondestructive delamination fiberglass and, this helps to eliminate the need for destructive sampling “cutting into the fiberglass”. And give a much more accurate repair analysis and cuts down additional time added by supplements
Bonding system inspection load test. This test helps determine lighting damage severity. This system is overlooked by most surveyors as not an industry standard test. We find even with secondary lighting strikes this area is superheated and cause wire damage and fiberglass weaking from repair temper change
Inspection of core materials. We found that dense materials found in transoms and other structural locations of your vessel will show no visible damage but due to the carbon make up lighting is attractive to it and using this material to ground is self-time after time we see the debone of bedding material cause delamination of this area. This damage go undiagnosed and cause total loss situations
Electrical systems. Do you know most electrical items deem lighting strikes acts of god and no longer provide support or warranty to engines, nav equipment, ac/gen set, and etc. We fight to provide replacement of those systems using our process to complete document all damages.
