Independent Blasting Inspections & Liability Investigations You Can Trust.

Our pre-blast surveys provide a comprehensive, independent record of property conditions before blasting begins. Every pre-blast structure inspection includes detailed verification of existing interior and exterior defects, documented with floor plan drawings, 24-megapixel digital date-stamped photographs, and precise tape measurements. These inspections not only establish defensible evidence for blasting liability claims but also build strong public relations by allowing our inspectors to explain the blasting process and reassure property owners prior to vibration-producing activities.

Our post-blast surveys deliver a thorough and defensible evaluation of property conditions following blasting, pile driving, or mining operations. Each inspection documents interior and exterior defects using floor plan drawings, precise measurements, and high-resolution date-stamped photographs. Professional claim adjusters and blasting consultants then analyze seismograph data, blasting logs, and compliance records to determine whether the claimed damage is blasting-related or the result of natural causes. The result is a detailed, evidence-based report that provides clarity, supports liability investigations, and ensures confidence in every claim.

Smith Adjusting helps bridge the gap between blasting operations and the surrounding community through clear communication and proactive education. Our team works directly with property owners, contractors, and mining supervisors to explain project activities, answer questions, and address concerns before issues arise. A well-planned public relations and owner education program often reduces misunderstandings, minimizes unnecessary claims, and helps prevent costly litigation.

Pre-subsidence inspections are conducted in areas where underground mining activity may cause land movement or structural changes over time. Smith Adjusting documents existing property conditions and evaluates potential subsidence risks before mining operations occur. These inspections provide an accurate baseline record that helps support claim investigations and protects both operators and property owners.
