Like, Kind, & Quality (LKQ) Replacement Estimates

Technology and the costs associated with it change at lightning speeds. Prices for equipment only six months old may have changed drastically. Proposed replacement costs need to be carefully scrutinized for accuracy and relevancy to identify proper LKQ. PHC uses industry knowledge, and sophisticated databases developed for over 30 years to provide fast, accurate answers on replacement costs.

Chemical Testing & Corrosion Analysis

PHC uses proprietary test methods as well as the most advanced industry techniques including photomicrography, UV fluorescence, pH, cation, and anion testing to test and analyze contamination for property claims after an insurance loss. This analysis helps adjusters to identify loss-related corrosion and contamination, vulnerability to further degradation and breakdown, longevity, and more.


By clearly identifying and understanding the impact of contaminants such as soot, smoke, water, and other chemicals, PHC clearly and concisely arrives at determinations of damage and recommends courses of action, costs, and more. We take the guesswork out of remediation. Our analysis provides insights into issues of recovery such as the actual extent of contamination, viability of recovery, and restore vs. replace analysis. Analysis can be performed on equipment, structure, and personal property with insightful results.
