While heat waves are the headline news in the meteorological communities right now, the Main Event, Hurricane Season 2023 is gearing up. August, September, and October are the main months and in a report released Thursday, meteorologists at Colorado State University forecasted 18 named storms, including nine hurricanes, and four major hurricanes will occur this year. The CSU research team previously upped their projections twice this year due to “extreme anomalous warmth” of ocean temperatures. And while the Industry has been licking its chops praying to the storm gods for a cataclysmic event, the reality is there may not be enough $3 inspection car hops to enrich them.
In just the past several years, the National Association of Mortgage Field Services (NAMFS) has reported an exodus of over seventy percent of all Labor. And without making any bones about it, they have admitted the reason was because of the bottom dollar pricing paid.
The FEMA inspections which NAMFS members are being paid hundreds of dollars for, are classic examples of trickle down effect as Labor is paid $3 – $5 each. And while the Industry is desperately attempting to complete the historically low volumes the reality is that the Disaster Restoration Services Industry has already been making the rounds direct to Labor. With a seasonal marketshare of over $4.4 Billion, they have no problems paying the $75 – $350 per inspection. Firms like Belfor, Hull, and NRC have all been scouting out the talent out there whether it is for simple drive by confirmations to full blown Xactimate bids.
