These issues often stem from design flaws or installation errors in the roof's drainage and ventilation systems. Our forensic architectural approach allows us to diagnose the root cause, whether it's inadequate gutter sizing, poor slope, or compromised roof deck ventilation. We then provide clear repair specifications or design modifications for a lasting solution that protects your home's structure and interior from water damage common in our local climate.

It means we oversee the entire process from problem diagnosis to completed repair. After our forensic investigation pinpoints the issue, we develop detailed construction documents and material specifications. We then help you select qualified contractors, monitor the installation for quality assurance, and verify the work meets the design intent. This managed approach ensures the repair is done correctly the first time, saving you time, cost, and future headaches.

If a leak recurs after standard repairs, or if its source isn't obvious, a forensic investigation is a prudent step. Using methods like infrared imaging and moisture testing, we scientifically trace the water's path through the building envelope. This reveals hidden failures in flashing, membranes, or seals. For Cowarts residents, this precise diagnosis is often more cost-effective than repeated guesswork and prevents minor leaks from causing major structural or mold issues.
