Forensic Investigation

Forensic investigation services help owners, insurers, legal counsel, and design professionals document conditions, identify performance failures, and determine where to focus repair or legal efforts. RDH conducts detailed field investigations using a combination of testing, imaging, and construction record review to build a clear, evidence-based picture of what went wrong.

• Investigation and assessment documents conditions and identifies areas of failure or concern through field review and targeted testing.
• Drone-assisted documentation captures high-resolution imagery in difficult or unsafe locations to support analysis and evidence gathering.
• Moisture diagnostics and leak tracing pinpoints the source, path, and extent of water infiltration through field diagnostics and testing.
• Construction record review analyzes drawings, submittals, RFIs, and field reports to evaluate construction accuracy and identify deviations.
• Infrared and visual imaging supports non-destructive evaluation of thermal bridging, air leakage, and moisture pathways.
