Ice & water barrier doesn’t get approved by assumption. It gets approved by documentation.
One of the biggest factors in getting it approved is proving it was pre-existing, not an upgrade.
📸 What to document during tear-off:
• Eaves
• Valleys
• Sidewalls
• Chimneys
These photos establish precedent, not opinion.
When adjusters can clearly see ice & water barrier was previously installed, approval rates increase significantly. You’re not asking for more, you’re documenting what already existed.
Just as important:
If it was there before, it needs to be there again.
Insurance doesn’t assume continuity.
They verify it.
