The definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the period the Company expects to receive the related economic benefit, which for customer relationships is based upon estimated future net cash inflows. The indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or when an impairment event occurs. The Company has previously determined that its trade name has an indefinite useful life. The Limbach trade name has been in existence since the Company’s founding in 1901 and therefore is an established brand within the industry. The estimated useful lives of definite-lived intangible assets are as follows:
Asset |  | Amortization Method |  | Estimated Useful Life
Backlog – Construction |  | Pattern of economic benefit |  | 2.5 Years
Backlog – Service |  | Straight line |  | 1.0 Year
Customer Relationships – Service |  | Pattern of economic benefit |  | 15.0 Years
Favorable Leasehold Interests |  | Straight line |  | 8.67 Years
The Successor’s estimated amortization expense is as follows for the years ending December 31:
(in thousands) |  | Estimated Amortization Expense |
2017 |  | $ | 3,582 |
2018 |  | $ | 1,272 |
2019 |  | $ | 642 |
2020 |  | $ | 525 |
2021 |  | $ | 431 |
2022 and thereafter |  | $ | 1,395 |
Total amortization expense for these amortizable intangible assets was $3.1 million for the Successor period from July 20, 2016 to December 31, 2016. There were no intangible assets in the Predecessor periods, and accordingly, there was no amortization expense. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the Successor period from July 20, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
