How Destructive Testing
is Used in Construction

Defects and moisture damage in building construction are not always visible externally, yet pose significant problems to the overall structure. Not only do defects left unchecked risk thousands of dollars (or much more) in repair and renovation costs, but risk public health, safety, and welfare.
Building code presents minimum safeguards to protect the safety of the public and ensure certain standards are met.
Deficiencies or defects in construction may not always align with visible distress internally or externally. Sheathing or framing distress may arise before distress manifests at the finishes. Water intrusion can be associated with a variety of factors.
Destructive testing is often necessary and effective at determining where the sources of water infiltration originate from. In conjunction with non-destructive testing, it provides accuracy in detecting moisture harm to the structure.
