Flooring Inspections & Consulting You Can Trust

Accurate evaluations, clear reporting, and expert guidance to prevent failures, resolve disputes, and ensure installations meet industry standards.

Certified. Independent. Evidence-based.

Forensic-Focused Services

Uncovering the Cause. Delivering the Truth.

  • As a flooring expert witness, I provide clear, unbiased evaluations and testimony for flooring failures, installation disputes, and product performance claims. My expert witness services include detailed inspections, photographic documentation, moisture testing, forensic analysis, and courtroom-ready reports. Attorneys, insurance companies, manufacturers, and contractors rely on my work to resolve complex flooring claims accurately and professionally.

  • Flooring Specifications & Project Consulting

    I offer flooring specification and consulting services to help clients select the right flooring products and ensure installations meet industry standards. This includes substrate assessments, environmental evaluation, written specifications, and project planning. Proper specification prevents costly flooring failures and ensures long-term performance for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.

  • My flooring installation oversight service verifies that flooring systems are installed correctly and according to manufacturer guidelines and industry standards. I inspect site conditions, installation methods, adhesives, moisture levels, and workmanship to prevent callbacks, failures, and warranty issues.

  • I provide thorough flooring warranty compliance inspections to determine whether an installation meets manufacturer requirements. This includes reviewing site conditions, installation procedures, moisture data, acclimation, substrate preparation, and product maintenance. These evaluations are essential when determining coverage for floor failure claims.

  • Moisture problems are one of the leading causes of flooring failures. I perform certified moisture testing using industry-recognized methods such as ASTM F2170 (in-situ RH testing) and ASTM F2659. Accurate moisture testing protects flooring materials from cupping, buckling, adhesive failure, and microbial growth.

  • Before flooring installation begins, I evaluate jobsite conditions to ensure they meet the required environmental and substrate standards. A jobsite readiness inspection includes moisture readings, temperature/RH measurements, substrate evaluation, and verification of site preparation. This service prevents installation delays and reduces the risk of future failures.
