Forensic Water and Moisture Intrusion Evaluation
Water damage can result from storms, plumbing failures, or construction defects, often leading to costly repairs and disputes over cause. Our forensic evaluations determine how water entered a structure, the extent of the damage, and whether the event was storm-related or due to pre-existing conditions. With clear documentation and impartial analysis, we provide findings that support insurance claims, litigation, and remediation planning.
Understanding Water Damage Investigations
Water intrusion is not always obvious at first glance and often reveals itself over time through staining, mold growth, or structural deterioration. Pinpointing the source and cause requires a systematic approach that considers weather conditions, building materials, and maintenance history. Our engineers investigate both immediate and long-term effects of water intrusion to separate storm impacts from ongoing deterioration. The result is a clear understanding of what caused the damage and how it should be addressed.
What We Do
Storm-Driven Intrusion
We evaluate wind-driven rain, roof leaks, and other storm-related pathways of water entry. Our analysis distinguishes storm impacts from unrelated wear to support accurate claim resolution.
Plumbing & Mechanical Leaks
Plumbing failures and HVAC system leaks can cause significant hidden damage. We trace the source, evaluate extent, and determine if improper installation or maintenance contributed.
Material & Structural Deterioration
Water exposure weakens materials over time, leading to rot, corrosion, or compromised structural performance. We assess how long-term deterioration interacted with recent water events.
Mold & Moisture Assessment
Prolonged moisture often results in mold growth and secondary damage. We evaluate conditions that allowed mold to develop and document the link to underlying water intrusion.
