DAMAGE INVESTIGATION
Day Engineering Consultants, LLC provides forensic engineering services involving the investigation and evaluation of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional structures. The firm specializes in determining the cause and extent of damage resulting from a wide range of events, including hail, wind, tornadoes, hurricanes, water intrusion, vehicle impacts, fires, explosions, construction activities, and other accidental or natural occurrences. Each investigation is conducted using accepted engineering principles, detailed field inspections, evaluation of physical evidence, applicable building codes and industry standards, and analysis of available documentation to develop objective, technically supported conclusions.

FORENSIC EVALUATION
In addition to damage investigations, Day Engineering Consultants performs forensic evaluations of building envelope failures, including roofing systems, exterior wall assemblies, and waterproofing systems, to identify the source and cause of water intrusion and moisture-related distress. The firm also investigates construction defects involving structural systems and building components to determine whether observed conditions are consistent with design deficiencies, construction errors, material failures, long-term deterioration, or other contributing factors.
