Houses, like people, sometimes exhibit puzzling or worrying symptoms. Cracks in ceilings, fissures around foundations, discoloration in walls, bowing or sagging in the walls or roof, creaking in the floors and odd sounds when the wind is blowing \u2013 or when it isn\u2019t.\u00a0 A Criterium-McWilliam\u00a0 Engineers structural inspection can diagnose these symptoms for you and recommend \u201ccures\u201d if they are needed.<\/p>\n
Are those cracks the result of normal aging or evidence of more serious structural problems \u2013 defects in the framing or foundation, for example \u2013 that you need to address?\u00a0 Do you have to replace a leaking roof or will a repair take care of the problem?\u00a0\u00a0 Do you think the contractor who built your home goofed \u2013 badly?\u00a0 Criterium-McWilliam\u2019s experienced professional engineers can answer those questions accurately and honestly.<\/p>\n
