Our Work
Roof Evaluations

Approximately 5,000 roof evaluations across all major systems—steep- and low-slope—focused on separating storm damage from age, installation defects, and mechanical causes. We identify leak sources, drainage issues, and code concerns, delivering clear, defensible conclusions.
Fire Investigations

More than 300 fire origin and cause investigations, from residential losses to $100MM+ industrial events. We determine origin, cause, and damage scope across electrical systems, HVAC, equipment, and structures with concise, supportable findings.
Failure Analysis

Comprehensive analysis of structural, construction, and equipment failures, including collapses and 170+ vehicle-related incidents. We pinpoint root cause and provide practical repair solutions backed by field data and forensic evaluation.
Our Values
At True North Consulting and Forensics, our values are built around integrity, technical accuracy, and a commitment to delivering dependable solutions across residential, commercial, and industrial environments. We believe every investigation, inspection, and mitigation effort should be guided by clear communication, science-based analysis, and practical field expertise.
Our team approaches each project with precision and accountability, focusing on identifying root causes rather than surface-level symptoms. Whether responding to emergency dry out situations, structural concerns, or forensic investigations, we are committed to helping clients protect their properties, reduce risk, and make informed decisions with confidence.
We value professionalism, responsiveness, and long-term resilience, providing solutions designed not only to address immediate challenges, but to support safer and more reliable structures for the future.
Mission Statement:
Our responsibility is to identify and understand the reasons behind losses or failures, to make decisions and determinations grounded in sound judgment and facts with solid basis, effectively communicate our conclusions, and treat all involved with fairness and reason. Above all, we remember that our work exists to serve and help people.
How We’re Different
We don’t produce generic technical reports—we deliver clear, defensible answers grounded in science, standards, and real-world performance. Our work combines forensic investigation with rigorous code and industry analysis, drawing from FM Global, NRCA, ASTM, and ASCE guidance to ensure every conclusion is technically sound and built to withstand scrutiny. We go beyond surface observations, connecting field evidence to failure mechanisms, design intent, and event-specific forces to explain not just what happened—but why. The result is a concise, transparent narrative that decision-makers, attorneys, and property owners can rely on with confidence. When accuracy matters and opinions are challenged, True North’s reports stand apart.
