Word Is Getting AroundBusiness people in the real estate development and insurance industries who have made the smart decision to integrate Detec into their business models are saying great things about us... August 24, 2007
Mr. Duncan Townsend Detec Systems, Inc. 711 St. Helens Avenue, Suite 201 Tacoma, WA 98402 RE: Detec Systems Dear Duncan, First of all I would like to applaud you and your company and the service and product you are providing to the construction community. I truly see it as beneficial service that will greatly help both the construction industry and the insurance industry at the same time. I have been involved in commercial insurance for over 21 years which has included underwriting various residential and commercial construction operations and as a broker on these same accounts all over the Northwest. We have seen the construction industry hammered and pricing heavily impacted by the onslaught of construction defect claims, many of them related to water intrusion. As an insurance broker in the NW construction community, I am recommending my construction clients to speak with Detec Systems for their projects and I fully support the benefits of using your systems. Two of my commercial clients currently work with Detec on their projects. I expect many more to follow. I am excited about what your service and the benefits mean to the insurance community. I see the installation of your systems becoming a requirement by insurance carriers much like sprinkler systems are now. While your systems do not prevent mold from occurring, the advance detection of moisture is critical. Alerting a building owner about the intrusion of water into their building well in advance of any mold, rot, corrosion or other damages starting will certainly impact the size of any potential BI or PD claim that could occur. This ultimately affects insurance rates and it affects pricing. Detec is the missing link for providing advance notice to a building owner that moisture has penetrated the building. This is a remarkable use of technology which could not come at a better time. I do not know of any commercial or residential building that would not ultimately benefit from the installation of your monitoring devices in their buildings. I have been expressing the benefits of your systems to many of my clients as well as other insurance colleagues (brokers and carriers) and the response is always the same. "Sounds like a great idea". It really is a great idea. Sincerely, Peter B. Gale ARM Phone: 253.396.5551 Cell: 206.999.2049 Email: pbgale@bbinswa.com Website: www.bbinswa.com |
