Structural Support
Our team has extensive experience evaluating damage to both commercial and residential structures and identifying substructure issues from foundation settlement, flooding, and water intrusion to evaluate issues affecting superstructure framing, roofing and overall envelope stability. Our forensic experts assess damages from vehicle impacts and nearby construction activities that impact building components.

We also evaluate new construction and identify product or workmanship defects, applying our knowledge of materials and the construction process. As part of our services we can provide repair plans and inspection consultation to support your needs as well as your client’s expectations for professional service.

Storm Claim Damage
When investigating building and property damage resulting from storms, a deep understanding of material properties and the effects of long-term weathering, routine wear and tear, and unrelated damages is essential. The expertise of your engineering partner in distinguishing recent wind, water, or hail damage from pre-existing conditions is crucial in supporting your claims process. At Atlantic Engineering and Forensic Consultants, PLLC, our seasoned professionals deliver objective, thorough evaluations and clear, accurate reports tailored to the specifics of each claim.
