Building Damage Assessments in Detail
A building damage assessment provides clarity regarding defects and damages to properties. It serves as a sound basis for identifying causes, quantifying remediation needs, and realistically assessing the economic consequences. In addition, it is often required for insurance cases, court proceedings, or financing-related decisions.
Typical damage scenarios where an assessment makes sense:
- Fire and storm damage
- Moisture and water ingress (e.g. from defective pipes, heavy rain, or drainage issues)
- Mold and fungal infestation
- Cracks in walls or ceilings (e.g. settlement cracks, damage from vibrations)
- Damage caused by wood pests such as wood borers
- Errors in building sealing (foundation, plinth, roof)
- Planning and execution errors as well as dimensional tolerances
- Structural issues (e.g. roof structures)
