History

Waterfronts & Maritime Land and the Need for Insurance Archaeology Services

Waterfront properties, encompassing everything from waterfront homes to deep-water ports, have a rich history tied to commerce, manufacturing, industry, transportation, and military uses. 

A frequent feature of such properties is the presence of creosote piles and heavy timber bulkheads, which can leach harmful chemicals into water and sediments over time. The legacy of these contaminants requires careful navigation and remediation. 

Leveraging 1970s and 1980s insurance policies as financial resources, guided by insurance archaeologists, is crucial for addressing environmental challenges in intricate, costly property cleanups.

The key to addressing these environmental challenges lies in leveraging insurance policies from the 1970s and 1980s as a financial resource for cleaning up these intricate and costly properties. This is where the expertise of Restorical Research becomes invaluable.
