Description

This is a 2-story residential water loss (Class 3 | Cat 2) that resulted in the replacement of the carpeted stairs. The same carpet ran throughout the house, including the room below the stairs which was also affected during the loss. Note: This carpet installation is wildly more complex than one would likely run into on a day-to-day basis. The Loss Snapshot was artificially made more complex in an effort to unpack the optimal applications of obscure carpet related line items (e.g., Berber, tucked, and edge wrap carpet installation concessions). Room Dimensions - Xactimate default measurements for a regular staircase: 3’8” x 12’1” This Insight Sheet exists to clarify how one might invoice for a complex installation of high-grade berber carpet on stairs. This does not seek to include or make concessions for all equipment and/or activities as it relates to a loss of this nature.
