Structural Crack & Building Distress Assessment in Bangalore
Crack appearance alone does not establish the cause. Location, direction, width, history, structural form, alterations, moisture, foundation movement and load path all need context.

From Observation to Engineering Diagnosis
The assessment should distinguish between a visible symptom and its likely mechanism. Some cracks may be non-structural; others may indicate structural movement or distress. Where the cause cannot be established with confidence from visual evidence, the next investigation step should be defined rather than guessed.
Useful information before inspection
- When the crack was first noticed
- Whether width/length has changed
- Recent additions or alterations
- Nearby excavation, drainage or water issues
