How To: Conduct a Brittleness Test

[@sinicalvision]

The title of this video is how to do a brittleness test. I was watching and you explain how the insurance companies do it improperly but you never showed how to properly do the test and how to tell if it passes or fails the test.

[@hailorhighwaterroofing]

Be sure to check out our video on how to conduct repairability test. That should help!

Welcome to my world as a adjuster, they all talk a big game then nothing. He never showed us how to really do his verson of a Brittle test.....

[@RevJerry999]

@@Rescueranger141 I think the point was that you need to test all the surrounding shingles, and not just the broken one, because you will have to bend them to make a repair. If the surrounding shingles are brittle, you can't fix the roof by replacing one damaged shingle.

[@stropheum]

​@@Rescueranger141 he explained it fine. You need to simulate a shingle replacement. If any touched shingle becomes damaged when replacing a shingle, it will destroy the whole roof if you try to replace one

Seems that this "test" is temperature dependent.

[@sewblue187]

Please remember that insurance covers peril related COLS . Not wear and tear or deterioration. I work for Statefarm and some of the insured roof are from wear and tear and comes from them not replacing or taking care of their roof over a period of time. We don’t cover anything that’s not in the policy

[@hailorhighwaterroofing]

Thank you for watching!

[@s.cackalackyvol2246]

You guys don't cover jack anymore. Statefarm has went straight to con men.

[@brownitsdown]

state farm pays for all this advertising, Jake, now arnold the terminator, and the SB a few years ago, SF sux, when a customer says they have SF I tell them to change ins company asap, because SF sux, its true and you the adjuster knows it

[@ThatRoofDude]

State farm is a scam. They don't pay out anything. Allstate is even worse. I don't see how people even sign up with them.

[@BookerT69]

I’ve got 50 on a roof and farmers just wants to pay for them to repair it. It’s a nonrepairable

[@jakec5618]

Great video.

[@hailorhighwaterroofing]

Glad you enjoyed it

Cougar paws on a 5/12?

[@RageKage1776]

Nice gloves. I buy the same ones best bang for your buck in my opinion

[@hailorhighwaterroofing]

they are great!

[@CodyHarrisSDG]

@@hailorhighwaterroofing What type of gloves are they? I go through so many chalking roofs lol

[@waterlife.1905]

Just call state farm. They will come out and take a look and give you a professional opinion that matters.

[@REALBanannaman]

LOL I came here from that video

[@brownitsdown]

and state farm wont help you at all, you can 50 creased shingles and theyll say we can replace them, worst ins company there is

[@stevenbagwell3795]

It's unfortunate that you believe this. If you ask a guy who owes you $20,000 how much he owes you because you're not sure, what do you think he'd say?

[@brownitsdown]

this is a joke, SF sucks and they are not on the customer side

[@Abc-ft8qf]

What the chalk for

[@brownitsdown]

what

[@45hotro]

Drone, caulk, and bristle test.... ⚠️

[@SepokuKing]

That is absolutely not how you do this. Please take this video down as what you just created a vandalism claim. I am licensed adjuster in 8 different states and you just broke the law on a homeowners roof. No body should ever take this person's advice

[@brianmclane8922]

can you link me to the proper way?

[@blomblom8544]

There is actually no standardized test for a BT. If you’re an adjuster you know this because you took a lame 3 day HAAG course. Let’s all be honest here…most adjusters don’t know shit about roofing.

[@lowecompanycontractingllc.5632]

woah cool your jets friend, slip a card flashing under there and good as new. Plus the home owner has him doing repairs I am sure he repaired it. Guy with a tucked in shirt alsways does the right thing.

[@s.cackalackyvol2246]

Wtf did i just watch? How do i get my 3 minutes back.

[@brightwayinsuranceenglewoo9512]

Looks like he used his fist to puncture a hole in the shingle. He could do this to many other shingles, without your knowledge, and your roof is totaled. Careful who you allow on your roof.

[@hailorhighwaterroofing]

Thank you for the input.

[@GreatDataVideos]

From what I can see, they were going to replace the roof (see the video on repairability testing). These shingles were brittle and needed to all be replaced.

[@eubanksroofing2433]

Great video
