Investigation

Every day we’re reminded of the unfortunate but inevitable consequences of building defects and deterioration. If you are concerned about understanding how this happens, when it can happen and what can be done to remedy it, you need a specific diagnosis on your side.

Whether you’re dealing with design deficiencies, improper operation, poor construction, lack of maintenance or statutory compliance issues, the important thing is to quickly and accurately diagnose the cause(s) of failure. It requires understanding the complex relationships between building components, including their arrangement and the environmental factors to which they have been exposed. This investigative process helps avoid the trap of implementing seemingly obvious solutions which fix a symptom rather than the root cause and may instead exacerbate an issue.
