Structural distress is a situation where a physical property is rendered strucdturally unsafe and offen inhabitable as a result of some unforseen issues affecting  its structure. 

Even though the building is made with the proper materials and the requisite standards of workmanship, signs of disrtess may surface overtime. In some cases, the homeowner might want to fix these issues and continue to live in their home. However, structural problems are often quite costly and can become overwelming for homeowners.

When a home is classified as having structural distress, it puts downward preasure on the homes value. This means that should you want to sell your home, you might not be able to sell it through traditional means. A cash investor specializing in repairing troubled properties may be a welcome solution. 

CAUSES OF STRUCTURAL DISTRESS

In many instances, structural distress cannot be controlled. A lot of things could result in the structural distress of a property  and these are some of them;

• FIRE: Fire has always been known to bring about untold havoc on people and properties alike. Depending on the intensity of the fire, the loadbearing capacity of a building may be reduced drastically and this could lead to the collapse of the building. Building fires could also leading to charring, or even a permanent loss of strength. Ultimately, home fires are costly and will prevent anyone from using the home until it has been inspected and repaired. 

• NATURAL DISASTERS: Natural phenomenons could lead to the structural distress of a property. The impacts of natural disasters on the environment cannot be overstated. Natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, terrible winds, and so on always leave terrible aftermaths, especially with the partial and total loss of property.  In a situation where your home is affected by a natural disaster, moving on may be your best option.

• FOUNDATION: Foundation problems can lead to very serious structural damage. Issues with the foundation must not be overlooked. Some of the telltale signs of a foundation problem are cracked bricks, wall sagging, uneven floors, displaced moldings, and so on. When there are problems with your building’s foundation, the market value of such property will drop and selling it will be difficult.
