Structural damage can happen as a result of a foundation shifting, severe weather, or natural disasters — but identifying the damage can often prove difficult. While a visual inspection of your home’s exterior will identify some problems, others can only be identified through a structural scan. The experienced technicians at Haggith’s Structural Scan & Inspection in Kaneohe, HI, will help ensure you know the extent of the damage, major problem areas, and which areas of your home are unaffected.

What Is Structural Scanning?

When inspecting a home for structural damage, it’s important to inspect the integrity of your home’s building materials. Visual inspections will alert you to surface damage, but a structural scan will help you identify the damaged parts of your home’s framework that are otherwise invisible during a normal inspection. Haggith’s Structural Scan & Inspection uses non-destructive inspection techniques to assess the damage done to your home. Their team combines concrete scanning and ground penetrating radar to provide you with a complete assessment of the damage, seeing through solid materials to spot the compromised areas of your structure.

Why Is It Important?

Leaving structural damage unrepaired or undiagnosed can result in catastrophic failure in your structure. This places everyone in the building at risk for injury should the structure’s integrity be compromised further. Structural scanning allows the team of engineers to give you more details during a routine inspection, helping you and your repair team make the best decision on repairs.

When it comes to your home, you should always opt for the most thorough inspection possible. When a structural scan is combined with a traditional visual inspection, you’ll have the clearest picture of where the damage is and how extensive it may be.
