Determinations of structure failures are performed using detailed on-site examinations, weather data accumulation, and structural analysis.  Weather data is used to determine if a storm may have been the cause of a structural failure.  We check to make sure that proper building standards and building codes were followed.  Foundations, framing, roofing systems, and mechanical systems are some of the examinations conducted by Barker & Herbert Labs.

 

 

 

 

Structural Failure Examinations:

  • Roofing examinations for cause of damage, deflection, shingles coming off, complete failure, leakage, and installation problems

  • Examinations for improper construction procedures: foundation damage from backfilling, improper installation of trusses, etc.

  • Basement wall examination for cause of cracks and leaks

  • Building code searches for possible violations
