Building Pathology Study
Pathology Study in Building Construction: Identify and Fix Structural Problems
Buildings and constructions can develop various defects or structural damages over time, compromising their safety and functionality. A Building Pathology Study allows for precise diagnosis of the damage, identification of its causes, and application of the most appropriate solutions for each case. This ensures the security, durability, and value of the building.
The most common pathologies include:
- Moisture issues caused by leaks, condensation, or capillarity, which deteriorate the structure and affect occupant’s health.
- Cracks originating from differential settlement, temperature changes, or structural deficiencies.
- Roof defects, such as broken tiles, leaks, or water infiltration, which can generate mold and damage materials.
- Foundation problems related to soil movement, erosion, or poor compaction, causing fissures and severe damage.
At AA Arquitectos & Abogados, we carry out building pathology studies to detect the root causes and provide effective technical solutions to prevent future damage.
