Description
Investigating Hazardous & Deleterious Building Materials is a practical guide for the identification and treatment of problems associated with certain building materials. Many of the materials considered hazardous or deleterious are perfectly wonderful in the right circumstances, so with care in selection and use there is often no reason why they should not function properly. To iron out any confusion, the book contains a comprehensive list of materials, is fully illustrated andclearly organised.
The text gives advice on the nature of the material, its normal use, problem areas, and methods of diagnosis, analysis and repair. It examines the history of the use of the various materials and provides guidance as to the ages and types of building most likely to be at risk. It is essential reading for surveyors, home inspectors, engineers, architects, students and others.
