Cause and Origin Claims

Our experienced staff includes Structural Engineers, Geotechnical Engineers and Civil Engineers, as well as a multi-discipline team of consultants of Architects, Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, construction managers, estimators and Certified Public Accountants.

 

Our team can assess all types of building systems and analyze the cause of the system failure, whether it be by design, maintenance, or construction practices.

Our forensic team has assessed numerous cause and origin investigations for Insurers, Attorneys, and Owners.

  • Building Failure – determine the cause and origin of collapse or serviceability concern

  • Mold Damage – determine source of moisture responsible for mold or mildew growth; recommendations for remedial action

  • Snow, Ice, Wind, Water Damage, Hail, Snow Storms, Floods, Tornadoes, Hurricanes – evaluate structures following storm events to determine whether claimed conditions were actually caused by the event

  • Landslide & Geotechnical Failures – retaining wall collapses, slope failures

  • Foundation Distress – determine cause of differential settlement of lateral displacement

  • Vibration Claims – investigation of claims to neighboring properties as a result of blasting, heavy construction, pile driving, tunneling, and heavy equipment

  • Collapsed Basement Walls – determine source of loading

  • Cracks in Drywall and Concrete – determine whether cracks are a recent occurrence

  • Sags in Roof Structures – determine cause of sag
