Electrical Failures

Investigating Complex failures:
delivering clear and actionable answers

Leading Forensic Engineering on Electrical Failures

Mission Critical Forensics, Toronto’s trusted experts, provides comprehensive Electrical Failure Investigation in Ontario, meticulously analyzing the origin and cause of complex electrical system failures. We investigate across low-, medium-, and high-voltage systems. Our primary goal is to determine the root cause, assess all contributing factors, and provide clear, understandable explanations of even the most complex electrical issues.
