Forensic Engineering in Ohio

Forensic Engineering Services in Ohio

When a structure fails — a foundation cracks, a roof sags, a wall bows, a deck collapses — you need to know why. Forensic structural engineering provides the objective, technical investigation that establishes cause and origin, documents the extent of damage, and specifies the correct repair. Our forensic reports are signed, sealed by a licensed Ohio PE, and accepted by insurance companies, attorneys, and Ohio courts.

Ohio Licensed Engineers performs forensic investigations for residential, commercial, and civil structural matters statewide. Our process includes site investigation, photographic and measurement documentation, review of available construction documents, analysis of contributing factors (design, construction, materials, maintenance, environmental loading), and a sealed report with conclusions about causation and recommended remediation. We provide the objective technical basis that insurance adjusters, attorneys, and property owners need to resolve claims, disputes, and repair decisions.

For claims that have been denied or underpaid, a forensic engineer's report can provide the technical foundation for appeal. For litigation, our licensed PEs serve as expert witnesses with deposition and trial testimony. Every investigation is conducted by a licensed Ohio Professional Engineer under PE License #PE.91757.
