Expert Forensic Damage Assessment
At General Forensic Engineers, we specialize in the precise analysis of building performance issues through the principles of forensic engineering. Our team applies proven scientific methodologies to investigate material, product, and structural failures — helping property owners, attorneys, and insurance professionals uncover the truth behind complex damage claims.
What We Do
Forensic engineering is the science of failure analysis. Whether it’s structural damage, product malfunction, or construction defects, we determine the root cause of failures and provide expert insight to support litigation, insurance claims, or preventative repairs.
Our engineers play a vital role in property loss investigations, product liability claims, and even criminal investigations, offering clear, unbiased findings supported by detailed documentation.
Our Approach
We combine industry expertise with advanced diagnostic tools, including:
-
FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras
-
GE Protimeters & Tramex Scanners
-
ASTM On-Site Testing
-
Wind Modeling & ASCE Stress Testing
This technology allows us to conduct non-destructive scans of roofs, walls, and entire buildings — identifying moisture intrusion, tracking damage pathways, and confirming unaffected areas to provide a complete and accurate assessment.
Why Choose Us
→ Decades of forensic engineering experience
→ Advanced diagnostic equipment
→ In-depth knowledge of building codes & construction methods
→ Expert witness testimony & litigation support
→ Thorough, defensible reporting built for court or claims resolution

At General Forensic Engineers, we stand behind our work with integrity, precision, and proven methodology.
Residential and Commercial Property Inspection
Our expert team, consisting of engineers, licensed general contractors, plans examiners, and thermographers, brings a wealth of experience in analyzing building designs and installations. We understand how the use of weather-resistant barriers and insulation is intended to enhance energy efficiency by tightening the building envelope.
