Our services extend beyond the construction phase, encompassing expert witness and litigation support for all facets of construction. As a recognized expert in the industry, California Consultants functions as an objective forensic inspector, analyzing building data to deliver an expert opinion that presents the client’s case in the most favorable terms. Our experts can offer litigation support for all aspects and phases of the construction process for both commercial buildings and single-family homes. This includes not just roofing and waterproofing support, but also addressing structural issues, material defects, and other complex problems that may arise during legal proceedings.

In our role as forensic investigators, we employ a wide range of diagnostic tools and methodologies to ensure a comprehensive assessment of roofing and waterproofing systems. This can include anything from the use of moisture meters for precise moisture testing, infrared thermography for detecting hidden water pooling, and core sampling to examine roofing membranes and waterproofing layers. We also conduct thorough examinations of structural elements, checking for issues such as loose shingles, blocked gutters, or compromised roof penetrations. Our expert analysis takes into account various factors such as freeze-thaw cycles, salt exposure, and the effects of expansion and contraction on building materials. By providing detailed technical explanations and an impartial assessment, we help clients understand the causal relationships between observed issues and potential waterproofing failures. Our comprehensive reports not only identify problems but also recommend appropriate corrective actions and building maintenance strategies to prevent future issues and maintain structural integrity.
