Typical Warning Signs
Warning signs include blistering, cracking, flaking, rust breakthrough, loss of adhesion, underfilm corrosion, discolouration, and localised breakdown around edges, welds, bolts, and drainage points.
How Failure Is Investigated
A structured investigation records the defect pattern, coating build-up, site exposure, application history, surface preparation records, environmental records, and test results.
Sampling and testing may be needed where visual inspection alone cannot confirm the cause.
Why Independent Evidence Matters
Independent reporting can support warranty discussions, contractor reviews, insurance claims, remedial specifications, and decisions about whether local repair or full recoating is appropriate.
