Diagnostic guides
Practical workflows adapted to specific areas and investigation goals.
Tracking a crack over time in the attic
Use consistent scale, angle and dates to distinguish stable from changing movement. This guide adapts the method to roof deck, insulation, ducts and ceiling penetrations.
Tracking a crack over time in the basement
Use consistent scale, angle and dates to distinguish stable from changing movement. This guide adapts the method to below-grade walls, floor edges, drains and stored materials.
Tracking a crack over time in the bathroom
Use consistent scale, angle and dates to distinguish stable from changing movement. This guide adapts the method to showers, drains, seals, extract ventilation and wet-room layers.
Tracking a crack over time in the bedroom
Use consistent scale, angle and dates to distinguish stable from changing movement. This guide adapts the method to overnight occupancy, closed doors, cold corners and windows.
Tracking a crack over time in the crawl space
Use consistent scale, angle and dates to distinguish stable from changing movement. This guide adapts the method to ground cover, joists, vents, ducts and foundation walls.
Tracking a crack over time in the exterior wall
Use consistent scale, angle and dates to distinguish stable from changing movement. This guide adapts the method to cladding, drainage plane, insulation and interior finish.
Tracking a crack over time in the kitchen
Use consistent scale, angle and dates to distinguish stable from changing movement. This guide adapts the method to sinks, appliances, cooking moisture and concealed connections.
Tracking a crack over time in the laundry room
Use consistent scale, angle and dates to distinguish stable from changing movement. This guide adapts the method to washer connections, dryer exhaust, drains and humidity.
Tracking a crack over time in the roof
Use consistent scale, angle and dates to distinguish stable from changing movement. This guide adapts the method to coverings, flashings, penetrations, drainage and wind exposure.
Tracking a crack over time in the window
Use consistent scale, angle and dates to distinguish stable from changing movement. This guide adapts the method to glass, frame, seals, flashing, sill and surrounding wall.
