Flooring Inspections
We conduct comprehensive inspections of all flooring types including carpet, hardwood, tile, and specialty systems. Our evaluations identify installation defects, material failures, and moisture-related issues using industry-standard testing methods. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence and technical analysis to resolve disputes or support insurance claims.
Expert Witness Services
Our founder provides expert witness testimony for flooring-related litigation, including slip-and-fall cases and construction defect disputes. We prepare court-admissible reports, analyze evidence, and offer deposition support based on 37 years of industry expertise and technical knowledge.
Insurance Claims Analysis
We investigate flooring insurance claims for water damage, product failures, and installation issues. Our independent assessments determine cause-and-effect relationships, identify fraudulent claims, and provide documented evaluations to support fair settlements for residential and commercial properties.
Concrete Moisture Testing
Using ASTM F1869 standards, we measure moisture vapor emission rates in concrete subfloors. This critical testing ensures proper conditions for resilient flooring installation and identifies moisture-related failures in existing installations.

We assist legal professionals with flooring-related case analysis, including document review, evidence evaluation, and technical consulting. Our services cover commercial, residential, and hospitality sector disputes with confidential reporting for attorney-client privilege.
