Structural inspection
The
structural inspection is a detailed report of all
the aspects of the structure's integrity. The structural inspection
consists
of walls, ceilings, floors, roof and foundation.
The
structural inspection report can also be used to
settle legal dispute among different parties, such as owners and tenants,
owners and insurance companies, etc. Be sure that an acceptable structural
inspection is a condition of your contract during the home buying process
to help eliminate any future litigation.
If you have structural concerns about a home or building, please contact
one of the companies listed on our site and set an appointment for a structural
inspection. A
certified structural inspector will perform
a visual structural inspection and prepare a written report of the apparent
condition of the property existing at the time of the inspection.
Note: Unless there are obvious signs of structural problems
with a building, the certified structural inspector will usually start
with a limited structural inspection. Often a limited structural inspection
will be adequate.
