Forensic investigation of water damage, drainage failures, erosion impacts, seawall deterioration, and site grading issues affecting structures and properties.
Water is the most persistent threat to structural integrity. From failing drainage systems and soil erosion to seawall collapse and foundation undermining, water-related damage requires specialized forensic engineering expertise. Global Forensic Engineers investigates drainage failures, erosion mechanisms, seawall and bulkhead deterioration, and site grading issues — determining causation, quantifying damage, and engineering solutions that prevent recurrence. With experience across 26 states and diverse geographies, Dr. Mousavi's team understands the interplay between water, soil, and structure.
Surface Drainage Analysis
Investigation of site grading, swale performance, stormwater routing, and drainage system adequacy — identifying design flaws and failure points.
Soil Erosion Assessment
Quantification of erosion extent, slope stability analysis, and determination of erosion mechanisms affecting foundations and structures.
Seawall & Bulkhead Inspection
Structural assessment of seawalls, bulkheads, and retaining walls — including scour, undermining, corrosion, and structural deterioration analysis.
Foundation Undermining
Investigation of soil loss beneath foundations, slab void detection, and assessment of structural risk from erosion-induced support loss.
Plumbing Leak Impact
Assessment of structural damage from subsurface plumbing leaks, slab leaks, and long-term moisture exposure on foundations.
Remediation Engineering
Design recommendations for drainage correction, erosion control, seawall repair/replacement, and site stabilization.
Our engineers are available for same-day consultations. Licensed in 26 states with local teams nationwide.

Common questions about our drainage & erosion engineering analysis services
Yes. We analyze site topography, drainage infrastructure, soil permeability, and adjacent property influences to identify the specific causes of flooding and design effective remediation solutions.
We perform structural inspection of the wall condition, measure scour and undermining, evaluate corrosion and material degradation, and analyze wave/current forces. Our reports determine whether repair or replacement is warranted and provide engineering specifications.
Absolutely. Subsurface erosion can create voids beneath slabs and footings long before visible cracking appears. We use level surveys, soil probing, and sometimes ground-penetrating radar to detect hidden erosion impacts.
