Structure Defect Claims

What Are Structural Defects?

Structural defects refer to issues that affect the integrity of a building’s framework, such as its foundation, walls, roof, or load-bearing elements. These defects can result from poor construction, faulty materials, or inadequate maintenance. Common types of structural defects include:

• Foundation issues: Cracks, subsidence, or heaving of the foundation can lead to severe damage to a property’s structural stability.
• Roof damage: Leaks, sagging, or poor installation of roofing can compromise the safety of a property.
• Wall and ceiling cracks: Large cracks or bulging walls may indicate serious structural problems that require immediate attention.
• Water ingress: Poor drainage or faulty construction methods can lead to water penetration, which can undermine a property’s structure.

When these issues are not dealt with in a timely manner, they can escalate, causing even more severe damage and potentially putting residents or tenants at risk. In many cases, these structural defects are the result of poor construction, substandard materials, or failure by contractors to follow proper building regulations. If this is the case, property owners may have a right to claim compensation for the repairs and any financial losses incurred due to the defect.
