  • A Level 2 or Level 3 survey flags structural concerns

  • You notice cracking to walls or ceilings

  • Floors feel uneven or deflect under load

  • You are purchasing an older or altered building

Structural inspections are designed to distinguish between cosmetic cracking, historic movement and potentially progressive structural issues.
