Analyzing And Troubleshooting Failing Systems

"It has been a learning experience," said Nelson. "As we continue to build out and use more and more difficult soils, we really need to make sure that the people diagnosing those soils know what they are doing and use the best standards possible, and that the homeowner know who is responsible when there is a failure."

System failures are a cause and effect relationship. Often there are several causes for a system failure, some not so obvious as others.


Unfortunately, this frequently occurs and is a result of an insufficient analysis or due to a lack of analysis. Often individuals only find half the cause of a failure and only find the other causes when the system fails again. The bottom line is that the homeowner is out a significant amount of money to repair a system, which should have been done right the first time.

Has anyone proposed multiple solutions for the failed system and let you make an informed choice as to the type and extent of the repair? Often we are able to recover failed systems at a significant cost savings compared to others.

We routinely provide our clients with several solutions including the initial construction cost and the long-term operation and maintenance expenses related to the repair.
