The correct diagnosis of a building fault leads to the most economic repair specification at the appropriate time.
For instance, dampness can be due to many different problems including condensation, rising or penetrating damp. The wrong diagnosis could lead to expensive unnecessary repairs, which may not solve the problem.
We have inspected a number of buildings were a defect that appears to be a roof leak has in fact been condensation dampness due to an un-insulated roof structure.
Similarly the wrong diagnosis of structural cracking can lead to incorrect repairs. In the short term the repairs may seem to cure the problem, but in our experience these may have only resolved the cosmetic appearance and future structural movement re-occurs.
