A significant storm, with golf ball sized hail, damaged 94,000 SF of the hospital’s buildings. Reclaim was hired to assess the damage, scope the loss, and replace all damaged items. The insurance carrier and their building consultants DENIED the hospital’s roof, wellness center and (2) 60ton HVAC package units. Reclaim was able to perform destructive forensic testing proving the roof membrane sustained significant damage from hail. In addition, Reclaim worked with the insurance carrier to accurately assess and scope the hail damage sustained to both 60 ton HVAC package units.

Surveying the Damage
Challenges
The Claim was initially DENIED by the insurance carrier. Being the only hospital in the rural town of Hamilton, TX – this project was an immediate emergency. The damage to the main hospitals roof system, if not found, could have caused catastrophic future implications to the healthcare of this community. The insurance company’s building consultants were pushing back against the hospital administration on the damage found and presented. Once Reclaim was able to prove the damage, the replacement of the (2) main 60 -ton units required a temporary cooling system to be installed to ensure the safety of the hospitals patients while the unit exchanges happened.
Results
New Roof Installed with 15-Year Warranty
The hospital has a brand new roof system with a 15YR Manufacturer backed warranty. Reclaim upgraded their Insulation above deck and installed a layer of FM APPROVED DensDeck giving the property a class 4 hail-rated roof system.
New HVAC Systems
Reclaim and its partners were able to prove hail damage on two 60 ton roof top climate units and the hospital benefitted by getting two new units installed. Approximately $800,000 of HVAC value.
Energy Savings
Hamilton County Hospital now has an energy efficient roof system. Due to the solar reflectivity and infrared emittance of the new “cool” roof material the hospital will now see a significant cost savings in their utilities and equipment usage.
