Building Forensics Services
What is Building Forensics?
Forensic investigation is the scientific method of gathering, testing, examining and evaluating conditions both current and past in order to understand what lies beneath the surface. In our world, building forensics specifically refers to the study and evaluation of problematic conditions in a building and its many systems. In this capacity, the FSI team will thoroughly investigate the integrity of the building and examine the property carefully through probing, testing and physical inspections.
