Structural Home Services Edmonton
Residential Maintenance Services Inc. can assess the
structural components of a house to ensure the
structural integrity and safety of the building.
We take the time to closely inspect concrete
foundations as well as the structure of your home
including walls and floors.
Here are some more details about the structural
services we offer:
Foundation Wall
​
Foundation walls provide support for the entire structure of your home or building. It’s designed as a solid wall that attaches to the footing of the home and rises to points where the ground is highest under the building.
RMS can inspect your foundation wall, as well as any concrete walls and floors, for the following:
-
Cracks
-
Spalling
-
Signs of water leakage
-
Bowing
Cracks in your foundation can eventually lead to heaving, becoming uneven, or even collapsing. Spalling, on the other hand, results from water entering concrete, brick, or natural stone and causing the surface to peel or flake off. However, this is more than a cosmetic issue - it can lead to severe structural damage.
RMS will also take care to inspect for signs of bowing, which is a serious indication of a weakened structure.
When it comes to your home’s foundation, knowing the early warning signs of issues can save you from extremely expensive repairs.
House Structure
Even if your foundation is in great shape, you want to make sure the house sitting on it is in solid condition.
When it comes to taking care of the structure of your home, RMS proudly offers the following inspection services:
​
-
Soundness of exterior walls
-
Levelness of walls and floors
-
Cracks in drywall
-
Cracks in exterior cladding and stonework
Like any aspect of your home left unchecked, overlooking potential issues can lead to more serious and expensive problems in the future.
