PROPERTY LOSS INVESTIGATION SERVICES

ENTEK has the ability to immediately mobilize to a loss site to assess damage and provide first response recommendations to secure and protect the site from further damage.

ENTEK inspection services include space by space detailed assessment of building structure and materials affected by the loss.  A determination is made whether or not the materials can be cleaned, restored, or removed and replaced. 

 

ENTEK can provide various support services that detail the location, type and extent of damage to the building, including:

- Computer aided drafting (CAD)

- Indexed Video Documentation (DVD)

ENTEK can investigate and map water intrusion from roof failures, wind driven rain, pipe breaks, window breakage, construction defects, overflows, and other uncontained releases of water in a building.

 

SCOPE OF DAMAGE

ENTEK will determine the scope of damage for each property using information collected during the ENTEK inspection and assessment of the loss site.  ENTEK includes recommendations for testing to determine repair strategies and to develop costs that are objective and fully documented. 

 

ENTEK has the experience and expertise to determine the best methods to repair, clean and restore the facility, equipment and furnishings. 

 

The ENTEK team, including our computer aided drafting services, is mobileENTEK can bring our services to your site for rapid turnaround of damage assessment information. Sensitive and critical areas can be evaluated immediately and completed in the field where time is crucial.

ENTEK will not only establish the extent of damage, but will also delineate between loss related vs. pre-existing conditions, wear and tear issues, poor building maintenance, and effects of long term water intrusion. 

ENTEK damage assessments will specify the materials affected and the best, most cost effective solution to return the facility to pre-loss condition.

·     provide phasing plans & critical path schedules

·     analyze repair vs. replacement scenarios

·     provide material and labor details

·     incorporate bids from specialty subcontractors and suppliers

Do you know where your loss is going?

ENTEK provides auditing services for cost estimates that have been prepared by others. ENTEK evaluates the accuracy and consistency of those cost estimates with industry practices. 

ENTEK oversees and monitors project thru completion to ensure the cost that have been developed are exactly what the insurance company pays.  ENTEK observes all activities on-site to independently verify that the agreed upon scope of repair is being carried out.  This oversight is critical during time and material, duration sensitive projects that can spiral out of control if allowed to proceed unattended. 

All losses are unique and many require customized solutions.
