Determining the root cause of appliance failures

When an appliance or other product has been involved in a fire, you need answers. Engineering Specialists, Inc. can conduct a destructive analysis/testing to see what specifically has gone wrong. An unbiased review by a Licensed Professional Engineer is necessary to investigate the failure – and our team can determine what happened.
  • Determine if item has experienced a failure
  • Determine origin & cause of failure
  • Consider user error or other factors
  • Analyze external factors like lightning or power surge

We find you the facts to help move your investigation, litigation, or claim forward.
