General Information
Strange things occur in buildings that baffle occupants and maintenance staff. New paint is turning yellow. White powder is forming on surfaces. Dark streaks are developing on walls. Diagnosing and explaining unusual events requires solid knowledge in chemistry, biology, and building science. Our consulting team draws from formal education and extensive practical experience to solve these mysteries. Utilizing various microscopes on-site or in our laboratory, we can often instantly identify the cause and determine the impact of the phenomenon. If needed, samples can be analyzed to determine the chemical composition of the substance in question using a partner laboratory.
Our Services
Forensic Microscopy Assessment
We collect and analyze samples from on-site materials along with site conditions. Using the site conditions and samples analysis we can determine what may be causing discoloration or changes on materials or eliminate many "guesses" based on what the science indicates.
Microbial Growth Forensic Microscopy
Losses or damage of unknown dates or situations can be determined by site conditions and the fungal (mold) growth present on-site. We are able to determine the most likely causes of the damage, provide estimated ages of damage, note the site conditions and duration of time needed for the damage pattern to occur.
