NASHVILLE, Tenn. - s4story -- STONE FORENSICS LAUNCHES VIRTUAL INSPECTION SERVICE FOR STONE AND TILE PROBLEMS

Remote service gives property owners, contractors, attorneys, and industry professionals access to expert guidance without the time and expense of an on-site visit

COOKEVILLE, Tenn., September 21, 2026: Stone Forensics has introduced a virtual inspection service for stone, tile, terrazzo, concrete, masonry, and engineered-surface problems.

The service allows many common concerns to be evaluated remotely using detailed photographs, video, project documents, and a live discussion of the conditions. It offers clients a faster and more affordable way to obtain an independent professional opinion when an on-site inspection may not be necessary.

"Many failures leave clues that can be seen clearly in photographs or during a live video walkthrough," said Frederick M. Hueston, founder of Stone Forensics. "Discoloration, cracking, spalling, loose tile, moisture-related conditions, countertop problems, installation defects, and improper repairs can often be evaluated remotely. The first step is determining whether the available evidence is sufficient to provide a reliable opinion."

The virtual inspection process may include:

• Review of photographs, videos, plans, specifications, invoices, and other project records
• A telephone or video consultation with the client
• Guided observation of affected areas during a live video walkthrough
• Identification of likely causes and contributing conditions
• Recommendations for testing, repair, maintenance, or further investigation
• A written report when included in the agreed scope of work

Virtual inspections may be useful for homeowners, building owners, property managers, contractors, fabricators, restoration professionals, insurance representatives, architects, engineers, and attorneys dealing with stone or tile concerns.

Not every condition can be properly diagnosed remotely. When physical testing, destructive examination, laboratory analysis, or direct observation is needed, Stone Forensics will recommend an on-site inspection or additional testing. Clients are advised of these limitations before proceeding.

Hueston has more than 45 years of experience with natural stone, tile, terrazzo, concrete, masonry, and engineered surfaces. He has written more than 40 books and hundreds of technical articles and has inspected installation failures throughout the United States and internationally.
