Types of Construction Defects

Subsurface Flaws

Subsurface flaws are a type of construction flaw that involves the soil under the structure that has been constructed. In most situations, subsurface law refers to soil that is not strong enough for the structure and the sinking of the soil causes major problems for the building. Cracked slabs, doors that no longer close correctly, and roof leaks are common symptoms of subsurface flaws. If your home or office is experiencing the effects of subsurface flaws, contact Smith & Garg today to find out what can be done.

Construction Deficiencies

Construction deficiencies occur due to low quality construction teams or individuals. Steps that should have been taken to maintain the building’s stability simply were not taken or were performed incorrectly. No buyer should be a victim to the mismanagement or laziness of a construction team. If you believe your home or office is having problems due to low quality work by the construction team, Smith & Garg can help.

Design Defects

Design defects are another area of defects that cause problems for buildings and other structures. These defects are caused by the person or group of people who are responsible for the design of the structure, such as the architects. For example, if a ceiling structure requires a beam or post to keep it stable but that post or beam is never added to the blueprint, then any problems the ceiling has would be caused a design defect.
