Why you need Structural Inspection
Structural assessment is usually undertaken to identify local damage and unacceptable deformations which may reduce the working life of the structure and affect its efficient use. It is adviseable to have a professional engineer inspect your property in one of the following cases:
- cracking, shifting or moving is noticed in the foundation, walls, concrete slabs, stucco or other parts of the building,
- visible or suspected damage by earthquake, fire, nearby construction, wind, water, termites or insufficient maintenance,
- unstable, falling structures (chimneys, retaining walls, external details)
- uneven floors, bulging or separating walls, deflecting joists or beams, deformed windows and doors,
- when buying or refinancing a house, particularly when there’s visible damage or home inspection calls for an opinion by a professional engineer
- opening up or removing a wall to check if it is a load bearing one, and to provide correct calculations for proper header sizing
- planning any change or addition to a building to verify if the existing structure is suitable for the addition & remodel,
- installing new roof to ensure the existing structure will safely uphold the new weight.
The Process
- Our experienced engineers visit the site and visually inspect your property to map out a testing program.
- Equipment and personnel are mobilised to site to conduct the field tests.
- The property is tested for signs of structural deficiencies that may cause problems with its integrity.
- Field data is analysed and reported to the clients with findings and recommended solutions.
