subject: Critical building repairs can be made easy [print this page] Whenever the need for something like critical building inspections comes up, one thing for sure is that it is going to be a tricky affair. Buildings and houses are complex by nature, which means you cannot take anything for granted before going forward with something like this. This is a rule that never changes, no matter what. Whether it is the first or 20th building you are purchasing, you have to start the process all over again. In some countries, states and even cities there are even guidelines set by the government. In other words if the building is of certain size then there are government mandated requirements explaining how much and how often it be done.
The point of this article is to help make thing a little easier for the reader before doing any critical building inspections and, if needed, any critical building repairs. Of course the best way to do it is to leave it completely in the hands of a professional who will go over everything and tell you what needs to be done to the building. At the same time it does not hurt for us non-professionals to have some basic knowledge about what is involved in critical building inspections. What some engineers recommend is to prepare a list of things that need to be inspected. The basic parts that need to be looked into are roof, outside walls, doors and windows, inside walls, electric fixtures, heaters and air conditioners, plumbing and appliances.
As far as the structure of the building goes, the roof, walls, doors and windows are the most important. If it is a brick building, then the mortar and bricks should be inspected closely by a professional. The walls should not have cracks in them. Doors and windows should open and close without any problem. If there is any kind of compromise in these areas then it needs to be evaluated thoroughly. Broken walls and roofs is not something you want to put up with.
This leads us to the next part of the article which is critical building repairs. Just because there are some problems to a building, it does not mean that they cannot be repaired.
