Forensic Engineering in Washoe County, NV
Washoe County sits on alluvial fan deposits where collapsible soils compress on first wetting, the desert's quiet foundation killer. Cracked slabs and moving foundations near Washoe County get mechanisms named, keeping the Nevada evidence trail unbroken. Comparison sampling at Washoe County sites separates defect from service exposure, so responsibility on NV matters follows the facts. For Washoe County engagements, coverage is scoped honestly as travel-based work, and Nevada licensure is addressed in the proposal, never discovered later.

FAQ · Washoe County
Who performs the investigation?
Field sampling, coring, and laboratory testing are performed by our certified technicians and laboratory. Engineering evaluation, opinions, and any expert testimony are performed by licensed engineers engaged for the matter, so the deliverable is sealed by the professional whose name is on it.
When should we call — before or after the lawyers?
Before. Physical evidence degrades, gets repaired, or gets demolished. Getting cores, samples, and photo documentation captured under a defensible chain of custody early is what keeps the technical record intact regardless of where the dispute goes.
Can you investigate a project you also tested?
Not without disclosure. If we performed the acceptance testing on the same project, we will say so up front — an independent investigator is usually the right call, and we will help you find one.
