A waterproofing expert witness is an industry professional with expert knowledge in all aspects of waterproofing: materials, techniques, installation and construction.  As an expert witness they can analyze building data utilizing several techniques in order to provide testimony on waterproofing systems, building envelopes, roof design, sub-slab barriers, basement drainage, and more.

It is estimated that on any construction project, waterproofing and drainage is often less than 5% of the total job cost. However, over 95% of project litigation is related to Water Intrusion. This is why hiring a waterproofing expert witness is crucial to most construction litigation proceedings.

When hiring a waterproofing expert witness for litigation support, ensuring that they have knowledge of every aspect of waterproofing and related topics is crucial to your success.
