WATER LOSS ANALYSIS...
Escalating costs of water damage to homeowners and insurance companies continue to rise in California. The current growing rate of water loss claims creates a need for accurate and objective origin and cause analysis.

AFTER THE DAMAGE...
Most water damage creates an emergency situation. In the rush to minimize damage, the cause of failure is often given secondary consideration. Critical evidence can become lost or compromised during the initial emergency actions and the subsequent repair and restoration process.  Early water loss investigation assures that critical evidence is identified and not compromised.

In cases where water damage occurs through a slower evolution of long-term exposure, our investigations will identify the origin and cause.

RECOVERY...
Identifying, documenting, preserving, and scientific testing and analysis of the elements of failure leading to water loss damage is the focus of our investigations. Our thorough analysis and objective reporting form a cornerstone in the subrogation efforts of our clients.

 
 
     
 

Our expertise in the following fields creates a broad foundation for identification of plumbing, sprinkler, appliance, pump, pressure regulator & relief valve, roofing and other water intrusion origin and causes:

 
  • Plumbing component finite element stress modeling
  • Acetyl and other polymer failure analysis
  • Dezincification
  • Galvanic analysis and testing
  • Brazing & Flux defects
  • Fracture surface analysis
  • Stress corrosion cracking
  • Materials identification
  • Material degradation analysis
  • Roofing failure
  • Flashing and Seal failure
  • Copper piping pinhole leaks
  • Pipe and pipe fitting failure
  • Freezing pipes
  • Water condensation analysis
  • Scalding accidents
  • Plastic bonding defects
  • Polymer UV exposure failures
  • Toilet tank ceramic defects analysis
  • Flange & Gasket failures
  • Water hammer analysis
  • Aggressive water composition analysis
  • Chlorine and Chemical attack analysis
  • Erosion and Corrosion analysis
  • Mold identification and analysis, origin and cause
  •      

    All our investigators are required to attend ongoing training related to water loss origin and cause investigation and legal issues.
