Purchase and operation of the property for many is a significant investment

When real estate is on the market in the status of purchase / sale, it is often the need to develop and accept a compromise.For sellers, the final selling price is usually the biggest compromise, while buyers usually have the opportunity to be flexible with regard to location, planning, sizes and other important criteria.However, expensive construction repairs can be an obstacle to many "hunters" at home.

Have information - the best protection against serious unforeseen problems or expensive repairs after signing the contract of sale.It is recommended to conduct a visual inspection to identify minor defects and potential problems during operation, as well as the second stage - a thorough inspection by a qualified construction inspector to help identify substantial design defects or security threats that may not be unparalleled by a specialist.

Understanding the phenomenon of "cracks in the walls" and the essence of the founding of the building

Although many insightful homeowners and buyers recognize cracks in the walls as warning signs of potential drawdown, but not all cracks in the walls indicate serious problems with the foundation.Type, size and location of cracks can help determine the degree of problem and possible solutions.For example, cracks in size in 1 mm and more, extensive stepped cracks in a brickwork or a complete separation from a solution or cement between masonry elements should cause anxiety, even at the average man.

If the foundation of the building is subject to the sedimentation of the soil, the main reason may not be immediately obvious, and therefore it is strongly recommended to carry out further research before selling.

The overall reasons for problems with the foundation are often associated with humidity level of soil moisture and its dynamics under the sole house.Different types of soils react differently to the change in the level of humidity and temperature, so in the study of a probable reason, the following should be considered:

- when rain water (or snow during melting) do not get away from home properly

- When there is an excessive moisture, seeping into the grounding ground, often due to broken pipes, makes the base too wet

- When there are penetrating roots of trees who are looking for water, making grounds of foundations too dry or loose

Cost of buildings and structures

Company Граундтек recommends investing his time and minor means in a preliminary inspection of the building and in professional consultation of a specialist regarding any serious problems and how these problems may affect real estate over time.A verification report can help identify future plans for this object, while the cost of overhaul can be taken into account in the purchase price.

Inspecting all the property, especially drainage and gutters, canopies, arbors, retaining walls, windows and roof, experts are looking for signs of constructive problems and evaluate the cost of eliminating them.It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the guidelines for the inspection of buildings before purchasing or consulting on this topic with specialists Граундтек.

Extensive damage to the foundation should also be fully evaluated accordingly by a qualified builder engineer or geotechnical engineer to determine the cause of the consequences and forecast for the future, if the main reason for sedimentation is eliminated.

Troubleshooting

In most cases, the problem of foundation can be solved quickly and efficiently using modern engineering solutions that are not destructive and adequate at cost than traditional measures and technologies.

together for better results

If the service of soil is affected on the purchased or sold home (it may not necessarily be bad news), then you will need to take a reasonable solution on this problem.Spend your research and consult with experts before agreeing the conditions of purchase with the seller or buyer.Some homeowners prefer to eliminate problems before selling, others go to a transaction with fortune and fail.The law on consumers is valid after signing the sale transaction.

Yes, the house with problems is not good, but sometimes it happens so that the seller is well hiding distressed places in the house, and the buyer learns about it only after time when you don't return anything.
