We will meet your adjuster or insured at the loss location and provide immediate answers to the tough questions - Is there salvage value? What is the salvage value? When can you remove the items so we can get back to business? Can you protect my brand? We work closely with adjusters and adjusting teams so all participants are comfortable and informed of the process of the claim.

We can provide a physical inventory of the items claimed. At the time of inventory, our experienced salvage staff also note extent of damage and can then provide a value of the items as well as its resale value. With our service you will receive: 1. an inventory of the items damaged, 2) the current market value of the items (cost, retail, ACV / RCV) and 3) the salvage value or loss in value.

Our salvage representatives provide a full report with the information you need to settle the claim quickly. We provide the a) Retail Value b) the Cost Value c) the ACV (actual cash value or auction value) and d) the net or gross Salvage Value.

Our expert staff provide this most important of valuations, the loss and damage appraisal. The loss and damage appraisal takes into account the condition of the items post-loss, the current market potential of the stock or equipment item, and summarizes this into a value so the insurance carrier and the insured can negotiate a final settlement with the insured retaining the goods or assets. This valuation is typically advantageous to both parties when there is a long lead time to procure stock or machinery or when there are pending orders that could be lost should the items be salvaged.
