Our fire investigations follow the guidelines established in NFPA 921 and our investigator has
been qualified in North Carolina courts as an expert on fire causation.
Our fees for these services are considered a bargain by our clients because of the service they
receive and the attention to detail that gives them the information to make the best decisions
regarding the fire loss. E-mail or call Jimmy to discuss and schedule your fire investigation.
Lightning Damage
DCSPE has trained consultants experienced in electrical system evaluations of residential and commercial
properties reportedly affected by lightning during storm events. Whether your electrical problem involves
a large refrigeration system at a grocery store, the cooling equipment for a vegetable storage facility at
a farm operation, or the random damage to household appliances, DCSPE professionals have likely seen the
damage conditions before. Even more important is the fact that we KNOW exactly what to look for and how to
analyze what we find.
In most cases, it’s just a matter of paying attention to the details. The antenna on this gas station roof
is located within 12” of the main power into the store. What could happen when the wind blows the antenna
in a storm? Hmmmmm…. It wouldn’t be surprising to have electrical equipment damaged and even have a fire
(which is of concern at a gas station) – BUT IT WON’T BE LIGHTNING!
FLOODING AND WATER DAMAGE
Roof Leak, Ruptured Pipe, Water Heater Failure, Flooding During Storm:
No matter how the water got in, it HAS to be removed AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE and the cause of the water loss has to be addressed.
DCSPE can provide the answers you need regarding cause of loss and subsequent damage responsibility.
The professionals at DCSPE are trained water loss investigators that can assist by determining the cause of these
incidents and providing guidelines for water removal without compromising the indoor air quality within the affected
structure or exposing the property to other environmental hazards. We have worked with numerous water extraction and
remediation companies to ensure the best end result for our clients.
It is necessary to know the type of water loss incident being addressed in order to ensure proper removal of water and
cleaning of exposed materials without worry about future property problems or health concerns for the occupants.
WHEN IT COMES TO WATER LOSS AND FLOODING EVALUATIONS DCSPE CAN PROVIDE THE ENGINEERING ASSISTANCE YOU NEED FROM FLOOR TO CEILING
 
Excellent question! Storm exposure to various properties (especially those coastal and
lakeside properties) often produce a myriad of damages and conditions to the surrounding
areas. Many times, the insurance carriers need to know what caused the damage in order
to properly assess the available coverage. DCSPE professionals are experts in determining
the causes of conditions and damages apparent after storm exposure.
BUT NO MATTER WHAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE THAT OCCURRED TO ANY PROPERTY, DCSPE can determine
what structural repairs are necessary to restore the property and is licensed in 43 states
to ensure that cost-effective solutions are prepared and are engineering acceptable, no
matter where your property is located. OUR ENGINEERING SEAL IS YOUR PROTECTION.
As bad as the properties above have been damaged, DCSPE can provide the necessary guidance
to ensure that these structures are restored to a safe, usable condition so that the affected
families will have their piece of mind restored about their home.
