Failure Forensics in Richmond

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 Richmond

Tower riser surveys in City Centre, lateral mapping in older subdivisions without reliable as-builts.

Richmond's built environment — low-rise wood-frame condos, single-family on small lots, City Centre high-rises, agricultural in east Richmond — shapes how failure forensics is delivered locally. Richmond sits at 1 m above sea level on the Fraser delta. The high water table makes slab leaks and basement seepage common, and the dyke-protected drainage system means stormwater issues quickly become structural ones. Construction is largely 1980s–2000s with growing concrete-tower density in City Centre.
