Helpful and Trusted Blogs, FAQs and videos, about the Structural Inspection Process
Structural issues can feel overwhelming. Our Knowledge Hub offers free blogs, guides, FAQs, and videos on inspections in South Florida—helping owners, boards, and buyers make informed decisions.
1. Why are general structural inspections especially important in South Florida?
South Florida’s hot, humid climate and salt air cause concrete and steel to deteriorate faster than in other regions. Regular inspections help catch issues early, protect property values, and ensure compliance with strict local building codes.
2. What are common structural problems found in South Florida buildings and homes?
Typical issues include cracks in concrete columns or balconies, spalling from saltwater corrosion, roof leaks, and foundation settlement in sandy soils. A structural inspection identifies these problems before they become costly repairs.
3. Do I need a structural inspection before buying or selling property in South Florida?
Yes—home inspectors often flag cracks, water intrusion, or roof concerns that require a licensed engineer’s evaluation. A structural inspection provides peace of mind and can prevent unexpected expenses during a real estate transaction.
