What We Investigate

Expert water damage evaluations

Water loss claims are costly and complicated. Sometimes the origin and cause of a water incident is obvious such as a flood or burst pipe. Other claims may be much more complicated and require the trained eye of a forensic engineer. We evaluate and examine a variety of different water penetration or other water related losses. Our expertise in mechanical engineering, construction and destructive evaluations ensures we can get to the specific root cause of any water loss.
