Water Intrusion
Water intrusion is a common issue that can stem from improper sealing, roofing issues, or inadequate drainage. Over time, water penetration can cause mold growth, damage to materials, and deterioration of structural components.

Safety Risks
The most immediate and serious consequence of ignoring construction defects is the risk to human safety. Structural issues can lead to catastrophic failures, such as collapses or falls, endangering lives. Non-structural defects, like electrical problems, can cause fires or electrocution, while water intrusion can lead to mold growth, impacting air quality and potentially causing health issues.

Financial Losses
The cost of rectifying defects typically increases over time. If neglected, what might initially be a minor, relatively inexpensive fix can evolve into a significant economic burden. If defects are known and not addressed, property values can also plummet, affecting resale value and investment returns. Our services can help you avoid these potential financial losses by identifying and addressing defects early.

Insurance Implications
Insurance may not cover defects that, if ignored by the owner or not addressed promptly, lead to out-of-pocket repair expenses. Furthermore, claims made on neglected issues could result in higher premiums or the insurer refusing to renew the policy.

Operational Disruptions
Construction defects can cause operational interruptions for commercial properties. Structural repairs might necessitate vacating buildings, leading to business interruptions and loss of income. Residential buildings with significant defects can see a similar impact, with tenants forced to relocate, leading to lost rental income and additional expenses.
