Challenges
Reclaim was called to the hospital to see if we could help. The 3rd floor was completely shut down due to the roof leaking. Water damage in most of the 3rd floor rooms. The hospital was operating on hours of cash on hand and simply could not afford the roof replacement. Reclaim completed the forensic inspection and discovered hail damage to the system. The roof replacement was funded by the insurance carrier.
The recent completion of the re-roofing project by the team at
ReClaim Construction was just in time for the October arrival of
seven new members to their medical staff for Family Practice,
General, Vascular and Orthopedic surgeries, Dermatology, GI and ENT, as well as the opening of their new cardiac and pulmonary rehab programs, wound care, allergy and DOT clinics

Reclaim maximizes outcome with its KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE
The insurance carrier originally sent out an adjuster that was not familiar with the type of roofing system and damage identification of hail damage to the system. Reclaim, being familiar with the system and damage then met with the carriers’ buildings consultants and engineers to point out the damage. The building consultants and engineers agreed with Reclaim and the roof system was approved to be replaced.
Reclaim is committed to doing it the RIGHT WAY
Reclaim was required to follow city code and install R-25 above deck while the insurance carrier argued it was not owed to this hospital. Eventually after code discussions with the City, Reclaim was able to get the hospital a fully upgraded roofing system to current building codes. Reclaim also upgraded the SPF roof to a Custom 20YR Carlisle 60Mil TPO Rhino-Bond induction system.
Uncovered decking was replaced on Reclaim’s dime…DONE RIGHT
During construction and removal of the old roof system, Reclaim came across most of the 3rd level had rusted metal deck. The carrier denied paying any additional money for the deck and being a rural hospital – funds were tight. Reclaim went ahead and replaced the metal deck for the hospital at no additional cost
