Construction Defect & Destructive Testing

Expert Support for Construction Defect Investigations in California

At Whitestone Industries, we provide trusted construction defect support and destructive testing services for HOAs, attorneys, engineers, and property managers. Whether you’re preparing for litigation, warranty claims, or structural remediation, our team helps uncover the root causes of failures through careful, code-compliant investigation and testing.

What is Destructive Testing?

Destructive testing involves the controlled removal or exposure of building materials to evaluate what’s behind the surface—without compromising safety. This process allows legal teams, consultants, and engineers to:

Identify hidden construction defects
Verify moisture intrusion and waterproofing failures
Examine building envelope components
Evaluate compliance with plans, codes, and workmanship standards
Document conditions for expert testimony or repair planning

Our Services Include:

Site Access Planning & Safety Setup
Exterior & Interior Wall Openings
Balcony, Deck, and Railing Probes
Roof, Flashing, and Waterproofing Exposure
Moisture Detection & Material Sampling
Photographic & Video Documentation
Remediation Scoping & Cost Estimating
Repair & Rebuild After Testing Completion

We work closely with forensic consultants, architects, and attorneys to preserve the integrity of the site and minimize disruption to residents or operations.
