The repair methods of rendered facades are selected primarily on the basis of the technical condition of the structure. The information on the deterioration level of structures from a condition investigation allows the selection of appropriate repair methods and an assessment of related risks and the service life of the repair.The content of a condition investigation is to be such that set goals are achieved. Usually the aim is to determine the repair need and safety of structures. To achieve that, the deterioration and performance defects of structures need to be established. Rendered facades can be subject to several types of deterioration. This requires establishing the existence, scope, location, degree, impacts and future progress of deterioration in each case.The large variation in the level of deterioration between different buildings, and the fact that the most significant damage is not visible until it has progressed quite far, make a thorough condition investigation necessary in most facade repair projects.
