Non-Destructive vs. Destructive Product Failure Testing Case Study

A fractured plastic supply line caused water damage to an insured’s property, prompting a subrogation firm to reach out to the Professional Engineers at Component Testing Laboratories (CTL). The firm’s goal was to understand the root cause of the plastic pipe’s failure so that they could accurately assess subrogation potential. CTL began with non-destructive testing at one of its three advanced facilities to determine a probable cause and then recommended destructive testing to gather further critical evidence.
