Failure Analysis Experts
LaRovere Consulting specializes in forensic failure analysis of mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), and building envelope systems. Whether it’s a catastrophic HVAC failure, electrical fire, burst pipe, energy system breakdown, or structural water intrusion, we identify the technical root cause using engineering principles, building codes, and real-world system expertise. Our failure investigations are used in litigation, insurance claims, remediation planning, and preventative redesign—giving owners, attorneys, and contractors the facts they need to move forward.
Our team brings over 39 years of combined hands-on experience in construction diagnostics, HVAC system evaluation, plumbing system failure reconstruction, and electrical fault tracing. We conduct site inspections, material testing, and document reviews to deliver defensible, code-aligned, and solution-focused reports. Serving clients nationwide—including Hawaii and Alaska—we help resolve disputes, reduce liability, and prevent repeated failures across commercial, institutional, hospitality, and government buildings.
