Structural repairs are often necessary when a building or structure has experienced damage, has become worn or degraded over time, or has been poorly constructed in the first place. There are a variety of reasons why someone might need structural repairs, including:
Damage from natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, or tornadoes
Water damage from leaks or flooding
Fire damage
Pests such as termites or carpenter ants eating away at the structure
Deterioration due to age or exposure to the elements
Poor construction practices or use of substandard materials
Changes in use or occupancy of the building
In any of these cases, structural repairs can be necessary to ensure the safety and stability of the building, and to prevent further damage from occurring.
