Determining cause and origin of system failures
We perform detailed investigations of plumbing and HVAC systems to determine the cause and origin of failures, leaks, performance issues, and related property damage or injury. Our mechanical engineers evaluate piping systems, valves, fixtures, boilers, furnaces, air‑handling units, and associated components, considering design, materials, installation practices, operation, maintenance history, and compliance with applicable codes and standards.
Through site inspections, documentation review, and engineering analysis, we identify contributing factors such as component failure, improper installation, corrosion, freezing, inadequate design, or external influences, and provide clear, defensible conclusions to support insurance claims, litigation, and subrogation efforts.
