FAQs
Q1. What Should I Prepare Before a Flooring Inspection?
If available, gather installation records, product specifications, warranties, photographs, repair history, and details about when the problem first appeared. These materials can help provide context for the evaluation.
Q2. What Is the Difference Between a Flooring Inspector and an Expert Witness?
A flooring inspector evaluates flooring conditions and documents findings. An expert witness applies relevant technical knowledge to a legal matter and may provide reports, opinions, deposition testimony, or courtroom testimony when appropriate. One professional may perform both roles, depending on the assignment.
Q3. Can You Investigate Buckling, Gaps, or Lifting Flooring?
Yes. These conditions can have several possible causes, including moisture changes, installation deficiencies, substrate movement, or product-related issues. An evaluation considers the observed conditions and relevant evidence to assess potential causes.
Q4. Do you serve areas outside Georgia?
Inspections focus on Georgia and the Southeast. Consulting and expert witness services are available nationally.
Q5. Can you testify in court?
Yes. We provide technical reports, depositions, and courtroom testimony for flooring disputes.
