• Adhesives Failures
• Defective Products
• Moisture Problems

• Concrete & Wood Issues
• On Site & Performance Problems

FloorTex Fibers & Fabrics Inspections provides Inspections, Testing, and Consulting Services for claims analysts, insurance adjusters, and others handling hard-surface installation failures or textile and upholstery, fibers, and fabric maintenance issues.

I conduct Residential and Commercial Certified Independent Flooring Inspections for the following:

• Clients include architectural firms, building contractors, flooring retailers, cleaning companies, and flooring manufacturers.
• We also serve installers, consumers, construction professionals, general contractors, facility managers, home builders, and related organizations.
• Additional clients include hospitality, interior designers, insurance companies, Corporate, Healthcare, Industrial, Senior Living, and specialty flooring installers.
• Multi-family developers, Restaurants, Retail, property managers, real estate attorneys, investors, and restoration companies.
• And anyone needing an unbiased opinion on a hard or soft surface installation project or an Assessment on an Insurance Loss Salvage claim.

I cover Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Kokomo, South Bend, Lafayette, Muncie, and Anderson, Indiana.

For large commercial complex installations, performance evaluations, maintenance, and damage claims, I can travel anywhere in the United States.

In addition, I cover inspections for Michigan, Illinois, and Georgia.  Previously, I conducted inspections in Los Angeles, California.

Certified Independent Flooring Inspectors have years of classroom and hands-on training and stay current through continuing education.  LeVante Carrington is not a “Rookie” or a biased inspector.

A professional and honest inspector should be a neutral, unbiased, and independent individual knowledgeable about multiple phases of manufacturing and production, relevant industry references, installation guidelines, maintenance procedures for hard-surface products, textile and furnishings cleaning, and ANSI and ASTM standards.

Certified Independent Inspectors can render an opinion on whether a product is defective, improperly specified/installed, or has poor maintenance procedures, and identify site-related moisture conditions in wood or concrete substrates.

As new products enter the market, flooring failure claims are rising quickly. Replacement costs can triple for residential jobs. On commercial sites, fixing a flooring failure can cost more than ten times the original replacement cost.

Is your client or customer blaming you or your company for an installation failure caused by manufacturing, installation, poor maintenance, or something in their care, custody, or control?

Are you or your company a victim of finger-pointing or a hired gun?

Is the manufacturer denying a claim based on an inaccurate inspection report?

Simply put, YOU OR YOUR CLIENT SHOULD GET A SECOND OPINION.

Do You Need An Expert Witness?

Why risk your reputation with difficult people or circumstances on something that’s not your fault or beyond your control?

FloorTex Fibers & Fabrics Inspections assignments are never outsourced. They are unbiased, thorough, and professional. You will receive an objective, clearly written report with documented facts.

Manufacturing of rapid development and enhancements in new flooring  & vertical wall products is at an all-time high.  The explosive growth of Luxury Vinyl Tile / Planks, WPC, SPC, RCB, EPC, MGO, Rigid Polymeric, and Magnetic flooring.   You will need a Certified Master Flooring Inspector for these fast-growing, ever-changing 2G, 5G Valinge, i4f, Unilin, Angle-Angle, and Drop Lock systems.

Some inspectors lack the skills, education, training, or knowledge to conduct a proper flooring or Luxury Vinyl Tile Inspection of these ever-changing products.  They may not have adequate training in identifying installation, adhesive, moisture, substrate, and maintenance conditions within these fast-growing categories.

Luxury Vinyl Tile / Plank sales are “skyrocketing,” and it’s the fastest-growing area in the flooring industry at present.

Manufacturers claim analysts need specific information on an inspection report to properly evaluate a claim.   A worthless inspection report is usually the primary reason installation claims are rejected or denied.

I am certified by four of the most prestigious and recognized independent inspection certification organizations in the United States ( FCITS – FCITS.org, lICRC – IICRC.org,  CFI University – CFIU.org and NALFA  Recognized – Nalfa.com).    Nalfa is not a certifying body; it’s a Recognition.

I am willing to travel to strategic locations across the United States for large commercial claims.  You can reach me via my website at “usafloortexinspections.com” and complete the “Inspection Request Form” to set up the inspection.  Feel free to call me at (309) 750-7697 or email me at floortexinspections@mail.com if you have any questions.  

My certifications and credentials, along with the updated “CV” PDF, can be verified by the organizations listed above, as can my ongoing industry-related training and educational commitments below.
