Hurricane, Tornado
We have conducted investigations on hundreds of hurricane damage cases, covering various aspects such as wind damage, wind versus water, storm surge, and wind-driven rains (reported as Category III water). With years of experience, we excel in distinguishing damage signatures between tornado wind forces and pre-existing damage.

Winter Storm
Our windstorm investigations encompass a wide range of issues, including ice damming, freeze damage to roofing membranes, floor tile buckling, roof collapses due to snow load, foundation movements caused by frost heaving, water infiltration, and more.
We employ specific protocols tailored to each type of loss to document the necessary evidence. Our approach involves conducting engineering and code analysis to arrive at impartial and scientifically supported conclusions.
