Failure Forensics in 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 Vancouver

In-pipe inspection for tower risers, lateral tracing in heritage homes where as-builts no longer exist.

Vancouver's built environment — high-rise concrete towers, wood-frame walk-ups, character single-family homes and pre-war duplexes — shapes how failure forensics is delivered locally. Vancouver mixes 1910s heritage homes with 60-storey concrete towers, so leak investigations vary enormously between properties. Heritage neighbourhoods like Kitsilano and Strathcona tend to show old copper and galvanized failures; downtown and Yaletown towers more often have slab penetrations and envelope failures behind window-wall systems.

Who uses failure forensics in Vancouver

Three sectors, one standard:

• Residential — homeowners, condo owners, strata councils and property managers in Vancouver use failure forensics to identify hidden issues before they trigger insurance claims or compounding damage.
• Commercial — facility managers, building owners, retail and hospitality operators across Vancouver schedule failure forensics as scheduled maintenance and emergency diagnostics.
• Government & institutional — municipal facilities, schools, health authorities, and engineering consultants procure failure forensics with the documentation rigor public-sector audit and capital planning require.
