We like to spend most of our time in our homes – when we aren’t working that is. But what happens when your home needs structural repairs? It can be a nightmare when you realise that the place that you are spending your time isn’t safe to be in. You need your home to be a safe place. That is why companies like Richardson & Starling offer services to fix any structural damage. These are the types of structure repairs that can be done to the place you call home:

·        The Importance of Structural Repairs

Ignoring any structural problems that your property may have is only going to make them worse. For most situations, the longer the damage is left, the more severe that it will become. You may be putting it off because of the expense that it is going to cause. However, you may be pleasantly surprised by the price when you enquire – especially if you catch it early enough.

·        Crack Injection

One form of structural repairs that can be done to the home is a crack injection. A waterproof solution is injected in to a crack or cavity that has begun to appear on concrete or brick. The resin is injected in to the wall, leaving it looking in its original state. This is described as one of the most economical forms of repair to structures. There are several scenarios in which a crack injection would be the preferred option. These include: flooding lift pits, leaking construction joints and penetrating water.

·        Crack Stitching

Crack stitching is the best of both worlds. It offers a quick, yet long term solution that is guaranteed to last. It strengthens the structure, providing it with excellent resilience against any further cracking within the structure. Crack stitching is most commonly done when vertical cracks start to appear in a structure. It is a great solution for quickly preventing any more damage to your walls.

·        Lintel and Wall Crack Repair

Lintel and wall crack repair is one of the more straightforward procedures. Lintels are most commonly found in Victorian buildings. They can start to sag over time, this causes the masonry to start to drop and then ultimately crack. What might start of as a small problem can end up being major structural damage if you don’t get it repaired.

·        Historic Wall Repair

Many of the buildings that we use today are still in their original state. However, over time the structure will become much more unstable and walls will start to deteriorate. This can be a delicate situation to contend with. Your contractor needs to be able to keep as much of the natural wall in tact to preserve it – while at the same time ensuring the building is safe enough to inhabit.
