Forensic Engineering: Drainage, Grading and Erosion
Water in the basement, ponding after every storm, a slope that keeps washing out. Land Pro Civil investigates drainage, grading, and erosion problems in Minnesota, Colorado, North Dakota, and Utah, finds the cause, and explains the options to correct it.
What an investigation includes.
You get a site visit, a review of plans and records, and a written findings report from a licensed PE. Investigations are led by Paul Wallick, P.E., licensed in Minnesota, Colorado, North Dakota, and Utah, with nearly 30 years of grading, drainage, and site development engineering.
We also provide litigation support, including expert reports and testimony on drainage, grading, and construction defect claims, for property owners, HOAs, insurers, and attorneys.
