Rizzi Residence

A roofing-product failure case built the way testifying work should be: court-approved testing protocols, control samples, and ASTM-grounded opinions.

The Problem

A premature roof underlayment failure with resulting water intrusion put product performance itself on trial. Expert opinions in that arena survive only if the testing methodology is beyond reproach.

What TCE Did

  • Developed testing consistent with court-approved protocols, including control-sample analysis
  • Grounded opinions in the governing standards — ASTM D226, D4869, D146, TAS 126 moisture procedures
  • Issued the expert report and rebuttal of the opposing engineer’s opinions
