Case Study: Ārepa achieves 92% cost reduction after surgical suite water damage with Envista Forensics and AREPA

Ārepa reduces surgical suite water damage costs by 92% with Envista Forensics

The customer, Ārepa, faced a significant challenge when a frozen sprinkler pipe burst, exposing a surgical suite and its medical equipment to contaminated water. The insured initially claimed nearly $610,000 to replace all of the equipment. Envista Forensics was retained to determine the cause and extent of the damage and to assess the cost for restoration.

Envista Forensics' experts conducted an inspection and found that while equipment was exposed to water, it was never powered on afterward and showed no signs of corrosion. The vendor recommended professional decontamination, a service provided by Ārepa, to safely remove all conductive contaminants. This solution restored the equipment to a pre-loss condition for just over $40,000. This resulted in a massive indemnity accuracy of over $560,000 for the client, representing a 92% reduction in the claimed loss.
