Storm Damage Assessment: Understanding Roof Science
Join us April 16, 2026
9:00 am to 12:00 noon
Location: 3370 W. Highway 199 │ Springtown, Texas, 76082
Join CORE Forensics inside our lab for a practical, real-world training experience focused on how roofs actually fail—and how to prove it.
Leading the Workshop is Don Lamont, a storm damage and roofing systems expert, where attendees will engage directly with forensic tools and technologies, including:
> Infrared (FLIR) imaging for moisture detection
> Microscopic evaluation of roofing materials
> Hail and wind roof damage identification and documentation
> Wind uplift focus section - the science behind the damage
CORE staff will guide participants through real-world cases and applications in a dynamic learning environment.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- How storm forces (wind, hail, debris) physically impact roofing systems—not just surfaces
- How to distinguish storm-related damage vs. installation defects or aging
- How wind uplift creates hidden and progressive system failures
- How to identify subtle indicators of damage often missed in standard inspections
- How forensic testing (IR, microscopy, gravimetric, viscosity) validates real damage
- How to properly document findings for claims, disputes, and decision-making
- Resources for advanced technology to support defensible, evidence-based conclusions
