ILC ASSIGNMENT:

Following a flood-related incident affecting the mechanical room of an indoor water park resort, ILC was enlisted to conduct a thorough inspection. The mechanical rooms, integral for housing motors, pumps, water conditioning equipment, and electrical distribution apparatus, required a comprehensive assessment. The insured submitted a claim indicating the necessity to replace the entire electrical distribution system, with material costs alone estimated at $260,000.00. ILC’s expertise in evaluating and mitigating damage in complex settings positioned them to provide a detailed analysis of the situation, assisting in the determination of accurate and fair compensation for the incurred loss.
