Photos adjusters actually want
Adjusters ask for: wide shot of the affected area with a reference object, close-up of the damage, opposite-side shot showing intact structure for comparison, and one photo of any prior dryer vent cleaning report or invoice.

Sudden events (storm, animal, appliance failure) usually settle at $170–$272 minus deductible. Gradual wear (freeze-thaw over years) is almost always denied — document the triggering event carefully.
