When wood rots and steel corrodes, structures deteriorate. The cause may be lack of maintenance, improper design, poor workmanship, or a failure to follow usage specifications. Deploying advanced tests and drawing on the expertise of our staff, we have the ability to investigate building failure and pinpoint the origins of the problem. We provide forensic investigations in these categories:
- Legal and insurance: Including expert witness, property assessment, component failures, moisture and water intrusion, structural and exterior wall cladding
- Analysis and evaluations: This includes the evaluations of structural, mechanical, energy and wall assembly.
- Assessments: We use state-of-the-art petrographic and infrared thermography methods to detect various issues such as fungal growth and asbestos.
