Brown & Beattie Responds to Fatal Brantford Explosion
August 25, 2011
On August 25, 2011 a home in Brantford, Ontario exploded causing one death and destroying the house. Several other homes in the area where also damaged from the explosion which likely was the result of natural gas.
Several insurance companies contacted Brown & Beattie to assess the extent of damage to houses and buildings in the area. We worked with adjusters and emergency contractors to ensure these structures were safe to enter and occupy. Repair drawings were prepared for those buildings with structural damage. These drawings were then used as a basis for related building permits necessary to repair the damage. So far a total of 17 properties have been assessed by Brown & Beattie.
