Insurance Claims & Adjuster Support in Memphis, TN

What Our Reports Include

When you hire Patton Leak Detection, you receive a comprehensive inspection report that documents every aspect of the leak and the damage it has caused. Our reports are formatted with the insurance claims process in mind: precise leak location documented with photos and measurements, detection methodology description, photographic and thermal imaging evidence, damage assessment, and repair recommendations.

This documentation often makes the difference between a smooth claim and a denied one. We locate the leak without tearing open your walls or floors, document our findings in a professional report, and provide that report to you and your adjuster. Whether you are a homeowner filing a claim or an adjuster who needs documentation, we deliver the evidence needed to support the process.

How We Support the Claims Process

We understand what adjusters need and what homeowners are going through. Our process is designed to serve both parties efficiently.

Step 1: Rapid Scheduling & Inspection

Most inspections are completed within 24 to 48 hours of request. We understand that insurance timelines matter and prioritize claims-related inspections.

Step 2: Non-Invasive Detection & Documentation

Using acoustic sensors, thermal imaging, and pressure testing, we locate the leak precisely and document everything with photos, thermal images, and measurements from fixed reference points.

Step 3: Insurance-Ready Report Delivery

Reports are delivered same-day as the inspection, structured for claim documentation with clear cause, location, scope, and repair recommendations that your contractor and adjuster can use for cost estimation.

Common Insured Leak Scenarios

We regularly document these types of water damage for insurance claims in the Memphis area:

Slab leak beneath foundation causing flooring damage — Water supply lines under concrete slabs develop leaks that damage hardwood, tile, and carpet. Our detection pinpoints the source and documents the extent of damage.

Water line rupture flooding crawlspace or yard — Buried service line failures waste thousands of gallons and can erode soil around your foundation. We document the leak location and estimated water loss.

In-wall pipe failure causing drywall and mold damage — Hidden pipe leaks behind finished walls create moisture damage and mold growth. Our thermal imaging shows the water migration path.

Irrigation or yard-line failure — Buried sprinkler and water-line leaks can cause significant landscape, hardscape, and foundation damage. Our detection reports document the source and affected areas.

Frozen pipe burst during winter weather events — Memphis winter freezes can rupture pipes in attics, crawlspaces, and exterior walls. We document the burst location and resulting water damage.
