SInkhole inspections
Sinkholes can occur anywhere in Florida.
Sinkhole Screening Inspections
The SDII Global Corporation
(SDII) Sinkhole Screening Property Inspection, (“SSPI” or Sinkhole Survey), is a
thorough data gathering and documentation process that may be incorporated into
either policy point of sale or the policy renewal process by the insurance
carrier for personal or commercial risk underwriting strategies. The inspection
is conducted by a trained SDII Inspector, not outsourced or sub-contracted, who
gathers data and photos inside the dwelling, outside the dwelling, around the
property, and in the surrounding neighborhood. The Inspector then records the
information into an automated, hand-held field inspection computer tablet at the
site. The data elements are then uploaded to SDII’s corporate office wherein
supplemental, site-specific information is gathered from various other sources,
such as the County Property Appraiser website. These are then integrated into
the report. The report is then quality reviewed by the Inspection Services Team,
including the Director, and transmitted to the homeowner and the carrier for
their records and review.
A major, value-added component
of the report is that the compilation of findings in the report are weighted and
scored by category including, but not limited to, condition, actuarial,
environmental, and geologic issues. The weighting and scoring were developed in
house by Dr. Sam Upchurch, Vice President and Head of SDII’s Geology Division.
This scoring system is totally customizable, whether used in part or in total,
based on the carrier’s priorities, business requirements, risk tolerance, and
acceptance.
The SSPI work process flow is as follows:
• The
homeowner, sales agent or insurance carrier requests an on-site screening
inspection evaluation through SDII. The request can be made online
• Charges
for the screening are then arranged via credit card. Cost can be paid by the
carrier, co-shared between the carrier and homeowner, or 100% borne by the
homeowner. Batch billing is also available to the carrier
• Site visit
arrangements are completed by SDII with the homeowner within 1 business day
•
The inspection site visit (which includes all the data gathering and photo
documentation) is completed within 5 business days of assignment, unless
specifically requested by the Homeowner
• The final report is prepared
electronically and mailed and electronically transmitted to the carrier and
homeowner after a comprehensive quality review and approval process by the SDII
Inspection Services team, including the Director. The client determines who the
recipient(s) of the report will be predicated on best business practices and
operational requirements
