Common Structural Issues in Toronto Buildings
Toronto’s dense urban core and expansive clay soils accelerate brick failure. Typical problems include:
Deep from settlement.
Outward bow.
Spalled from corrosion.
Shear at angle.
Unstable top course.
Left untreated, these issues lead to catastrophic failure, lawsuits, and municipal stop-work orders. For high-risk zones, delays without parapet rebuild Toronto risk public safety.
