Failure Forensics in North Vancouver

After a major leak or pipe burst, forensic investigation establishes root cause for insurance, engineering and asset-management purposes. We deliver these as independent investigations, combining the failed section, surrounding system, operational history and water-quality data into a written root-cause finding. The work is methodical, documented, and suitable for technical and insurance audiences.

What in pipe typically finds in North Vancouver

North Vancouver's built environment — 1950s–70s character homes, modernized acreages, growing Lower Lonsdale tower district, Seymour and Lynn Valley wood-frame stock — shapes how failure forensics is delivered locally. North Vancouver's heavy rainfall, mountain runoff, and steep terrain combine to make moisture and envelope work a constant. Many properties date from a leak-prone era of West Coast modern construction, with flat roofs, large overhangs, and complex drainage paths.
