Watch Your Stone and Sleep Well

As the owner of a property, a lawsuit is always something you want to avoid. In my previous blog, I talked about the large number of decorative stone benches put together by untrained individuals, who created an opportunity for them to fall over. The same is true of fountains, columns, and other decorative elements that give prestige to hotels, public parks, and restaurants. ARW Studios has, along with its other services, a relatively painless process to assess risk in these locations. We examine each stone element in a setting, the foundation it sits on, and test each stability related factor that could lead to failure. If a bench or fountain has no stabilizing pins, we find out and tell the property owner. If indoor glues or excessive shimming were used, we say so and list the most economic but necessary solutions to fix them in our report. As experts in the field, we know how to properly assemble just about any stone fabrication in existence. And if by chance we don't know, we take the time to inform ourselves through our worldwide web of stone industry associates. Consider having us evaluate your risk if you own a piece of property with stone decorative elements on it. We know you'll sleep well knowing nothing's going to fall on anyone.
