What We Investigate in Nebraska
Storm & Hail Damage
Nebraska experiences severe weather including hailstorms, high winds, and tornadoes. Our engineers assess hail impact to roofing and building components, evaluate wind damage to structures, and document tornado-related losses. We use standardized test methods and weather data correlation to provide clear, defensible findings.
Storm Damage Services→Fire Origin & Cause
We investigate residential and commercial fires throughout Nebraska to determine where the fire started and what caused it. Our certified fire investigators apply NFPA 921 methodology, examining electrical systems, appliances, heating equipment, and other potential ignition sources to reach defensible conclusions.
Fire Investigation Services→Product Failure Analysis
When a consumer product, appliance, or commercial equipment fails and causes property damage or injury, we investigate. Our engineers identify design deficiencies, manufacturing defects, and material failures through systematic forensic analysis and laboratory testing when needed.
Product Failure Services→Structural Assessment
We evaluate foundation settlement, structural deterioration, load-bearing system deficiencies, and building code compliance. Our engineers investigate failures in residential, commercial, and industrial structures, providing findings for insurance claims, litigation, and repair planning.
Structural Services→Litigation Support
