If you're being told:

• “It’s a moisture issue”

• “It’s the product”

• “It’s the installer”

…but no one can prove it, you’re in the middle of a blame game.

 

That’s where we come in.

 

Independent Flooring Inspections — No Sides. Just Evidence.

 

Desert Floor Inspections provides third-party, unbiased flooring inspections throughout the Las Vegas area.

• We don’t sell flooring.

• We don’t install flooring.

• We don’t represent manufacturers.

 

Our job is simple: determine the cause of failure using testing, documentation, and industry standards.

 

What We Actually Do

We don’t just “look at floors.”

We:

• Identify the cause of failure

• Perform moisture and site condition testing

• Evaluate installation methods and substrate conditions

• Compare findings to manufacturer guidelines and industry standards (NWFA, ASTM, etc.)

• Provide a clear, written report you can use for claims, disputes, or legal action

 

Who This Is For

• Homeowners dealing with flooring failures or warranty claims

• Situations where the installer and manufacturer disagree

• Insurance or builder-related disputes

• Attorneys needing documentation and expert findings

 

If you just want someone to “take a look,” we’re probably not the right fit.
 

If you want answers you can stand on, we are.

 

What Makes Us Different

 

Most flooring “inspections” aren’t independent.

• Installers tend to defend their work

• Manufacturers tend to defend their product

• General inspectors often lack flooring-specific expertise

 

We come in with no stake in the outcome—only the facts.

David Fowler is an FCITS Master Inspector with decades of hands-on experience in flooring installation, failure analysis, and inspection. Every inspection is approached with a forensic mindset—not guesswork.

 

Real-World Problems We See Every Week

• Cupping blamed on moisture… caused by low humidity

• Tile cracking blamed on product… caused by substrate failure

• Lifting planks blamed on defects… caused by installation issues

The difference between opinion and proof is documentation and testing.

 

Our Process

1. Initial Contact – Call or email photos of your issue

2. Preliminary Review – We determine if an inspection is needed

3. On-Site Inspection – Testing, measurements, and documentation

4. Written Report – Clear findings with supporting data and standards

 

Let’s Be Straight About This

Not every floor failure is a defect.
Not every installer is at fault.
And not every claim is valid.

But every situation has a cause.

Our job is to find it—and back it up.
