Buildings, structures, electrical components, and mechanical systems can fail or become damaged in a variety of ways. Distress may occur through years of weathering and deterioration; due to a single event such as hurricane, hail or fire; or elements may fail under normal conditions as a result of improper design or construction. YA has an extensive team of engineering experts including civil, structural, electrical, mechanical and geotechnical engineers that work seamlessly together to tackle the most complex losses across all types of buildings, structures, and mechanical/electrical systems. Our experts work with litigation attorneys, claims professionals and property owners to accurately determine the root cause and resulting damage when problems occur. Our professionals are able to provide detailed repair designs and, if requested, to provide expert witness testimony and litigation support services.
