Insurance Claims Investigations

KWhite Engineering’ expertise in building systems is often requested when clients need someone to determine the cause and origin of a failure and determine how best to remedy the problem. We do not decide whether defects are covered by insurance but render an opinion as to what caused the problem and what can be done about it.

Typical defects relate to:

Structural Damage – Damage to the building from tree impacts, vehicle impacts, explosions, or nearby construction. 

Wind and Hail Damage– Evaluation of building damage as a result of high winds, tornadoes, Derechos, wind-driven rain, and hail.

Water Leaks and Flood Damage– Damage to a building from internal water leaks, roof leaks, or flooding.

Fire Damage– Evaluation of remaining structural components for stability and repair.
