OUR STORY

Flood Testing Laboratories is a historic, family-owned construction materials testing and inspection firm based out of Chicago.

Founded in 1913 by Walter H. Flood, the company was created to answer a growing demand for structural oversight and construction safety in the Chicago area and over a century later, our firm has cemented a fascinating legacy.

In the 1960s and 70s, our laboratory was deeply involved in the development and testing of high-strength concrete. Today, the fourth generation of the family continues to provide the highest quality testing and inspection services.
