About Us
We've Been on Both Sides of the Table.
Water intrusion doesn’t care about your timeline, your budget, or your legal strategy. When it finds a way in, the consequences are real. Financial loss. Project delays. Mold or biological growth. Disputes. Legal exposure.
Jeff Martin and Mark Stewart spent decades as contractors before becoming consultants. They know what proper installation looks like because they have done it themselves, thousands of times. That field experience is what sets their investigation, testing, and expert testimony apart.
Every engagement starts as a fact-gathering mission. No assumptions. Just the truth about what happened and why.

What Sets Us Apart
Built on Decades of Field Experience. Backed by Results.
Why Choose Us
We Came from the Contracting Side. That Changes Everything.
Most building envelope consultants know the theory. We know what actually happens on a rooftop at 7 a.m. on a Tuesday.
Contractors-Turned-Consultants
We have personally installed roofs, fabricated sheet metal, and waterproofed buildings. When we investigate a failure or testify in court, we are not guessing at what went wrong. We have done the work with our own hands.
Built for the Stand
We combine strategic insight with analytics to turn complex information into confident decisions, bridging vision and execution through data clarity.
Testing That Catches Problems Before They're Buried
We test roofing, waterproofing, windows, and wall systems during construction, before the overburden goes on and the evidence disappears, using advanced methods like electronic leak detection, infrared scans, and pressure testing. This allows defects to be fixed early, saving thousands instead of millions.
That hands-on experience also strengthens our forensic work, giving us clear insight into where to look, what to ask, and how to interpret the evidence.

THE Stakes
What Happens When the Wrong Expert Takes the Stand
A weak expert report gets torn apart in deposition.
A missed defect becomes a million-dollar claim.
