How Serious Are Historic Building Repairs?
If historic buildings are not maintained or repaired, not only are they likely to decrease in value but more importantly, if their structural integrity is severely compromised they can become a dangerous threat to their users, as well as, the general public. If elements of the building’s exterior are not well maintained or repaired, they may become subject to breaking off which could pose grave danger to individuals standing directly below these falling elements. In addition, many historic buildings have been constructed out of more flammable materials which means that if they are not properly cared for, they could pose as a greater fire hazard.
Other elements such as asbestos are also in dire need of being assessed and attended to as necessary if historic buildings are to stand safely and without danger. Without the appropriate maintenance and repair of historic buildings – structures which are more prone to damage due to their age – many of these unique structures will have to be torn down as a means to prevent them from becoming hazardous to their users.
