Structural Assessment

A professional structural assessment is your roadmap to understanding your building's true condition, revealing hidden problems and prioritizing repairs before minor issues become major failures. This comprehensive evaluation examines foundations, load-bearing elements, brick condition, mortar integrity, and moisture management systems to identify current problems and predict future maintenance needs. In Ontario's older brick buildings, assessments often uncover issues invisible to untrained eyes—internal wall tie corrosion, hidden water damage, or progressive foundation movement that threatens structural stability. Advanced techniques including thermal imaging, moisture meters, and sometimes exploratory openings provide detailed condition data. The resulting report prioritizes repairs by safety and cost-effectiveness, helping you budget for maintenance and avoid emergency repairs. Fix My Brick's structural assessments give property owners peace of mind and negotiating power for real estate transactions. Regular assessments every 5-10 years catch problems early when repairs cost hundreds instead of thousands of dollars.
