What Forensic Engineering Covers in Fort Collins
Our engineers investigate the full range of structural failures and disputes: foundation settlement and heave, construction defects, water intrusion and freeze-thaw damage, hail, wind, and snow-load effects, fire and impact damage, and disagreements over who or what caused the damage. Each investigation ends in a PE-stamped report with cause-and-origin analysis, photographic evidence, structural significance, and prioritized repair recommendations — written for adjusters and attorneys to act on.
When Fort Collins Property Owners Need a Forensic Engineer
• An insurance claim for foundation, storm, fire, or water damage • A construction defect or workmanship dispute with a contractor • Cracks or movement that appeared after construction or renovation • A claim that has been denied, disputed, or underpaid • Litigation or mediation requiring an independent engineering opinion • Pre-purchase investigation of a known structural issue • Expert witness support in structural disputes
What Your Forensic Report Includes
Signed and stamped by a Colorado-licensed PE, your report contains: an executive summary; scope and methodology; documented observed conditions with photographs; cause-and-origin analysis; whether damage is active or stabilized; repair recommendations with prioritization; and the engineer's professional opinion where standard of care or code compliance is at issue. Reports are prepared to be admissible in legal proceedings, and our engineers are available for deposition and expert testimony.
Local Expertise for Fort Collins
Northern Colorado's rapid growth means Fort Collins mixes century-old originals with new subdivisions built on heavy clay pockets — and the region's irrigation history leaves legacy moisture patterns that keep moving foundations long after build-out. We routinely investigate both newer-home soil movement and older-home structural aging across the NoCo corridor.
