First response from adjuster was Friday at 4:58pm and he said he would be out of the office next week ha
Said he was sending a "non negotiable" check for 11k
I will be negotiating
Is equipment decontamination legit for a category 1? I think it's justified because you have to clean out Sheetrock dust so you don't blow it all over the next job and also there was a previous mold remediation in this house. Better safe than sorry in my opinion. We clean equipment after every job regardless of category
He also didn't want to pay for air scrubbers
He also didn't want to pay emergency service call(after hours) or any supervisor hours
Our payroll out on the job is more than the line items on xactimate for this so we had line items plus some hours. They said no hours you can't double dip.
Thoughts?
sorry for the delay in responding. NO - decon on cat 1 is absurd. Demo of sheetrock is to be performed PRIOR to bringing in the equipment. the only time we charge for it is wen we place an air scrubber for the demo portion. we get 1 day rental and pre-filters.
Cat 1 air scrubber are iffy - we place them on EVERY job regardless if we get paid for them.
emergency service call is valid provided you can prove you routed them immediately over versus scheduling for the next day, etc...
- good luck double dipping on the hours - Supervisory is hard to collect on unless you have a crew of 10 or more onsite.
our guide for billing is simple- is it reasonable- NOT - can we charge for it and get away with it!
