property damage may result without
apparent explanation or reason.
Appearance of surface cracks,
mold/mildew staining or simply humid
surfaces to the touch maybe an
indication of other issues occurring to the
structure or to the property. Typically the
structural damage that results from
plumbing leaks, foundation settlement,
and structural deformations can be easily
reversed and repaired if it is addressed
promptly and properly corrected. A
proactive approach on the initial signs of
damage can significantly reduce future
exuberant construction repair costs.

Weather related events
may affect
the integrity of the exposed surface
materials (i.e. wind/hail on a roof
surface). Such damage shall be
individually evaluated to determine the
extent, cause, and origin of it. The
normal aging and wear and tear will
affect the performance of exposed
materials to weather conditions. A
detailed evaluation of the exposed
materials is important in order to
determine the degree of damage and
functionality of the materials. Such
analysis shall include a detailed analysis
of the weather reports from recognized
agencies, a general site evaluation, and
an objective engineering approach.
Small signs may indicate
lots of
problem hidden inside a wall. It is
important to obtain a comprehensive and
complete analysis of the existing
conditions in order to determine the
extent, and to prevent any additional
issues that may result from it. We took
seriously our job and we are committed
to perform an exhaustive analysis with
our Structural Forensic Investigation
Method, or SFIM. This standard method,
developed by engineer Enrique Morales
and in a continuous revision, provides a
standard approach to our experts to
analyze and investigate each of our
projects, without leaving any questions
behind.
