ILC Assignment:
Site inspection in which restaurant equipment was damaged by floodwaters.
Perform a visual inspection of the equipment and create an inventory of those items.
Determine if the damaged equipment was a candidate for cleaning or repair, or if new replacements were required.
Acquire new replacement costs and estimate the ACV for items deemed destroyed.
Create a photographic record of the equipment.
Provide a written report to the adjuster of our opinions and findings
ILC Inspection Details:
During the visual inspection, ILC documented high watermarks up to 14”.
The walk-in coolers showed mud residue left behind from flood waters receding.
The main chef/prep line was deemed uneconomical for restoration or repair and required replacement based on the inspection.
Portable coolers in the front bar were deemed destroyed due to their electrical systems being submerged.
A beverage island, drink station, kitchen ranges, fryers and woks, dishwashing system, and numerous kitchen utensils and dishes were all candidates for cleaning and sanitizing.
Summary:
