Questions

Common questions.

When do I need a structural engineer?

When the inspection finds something beyond normal settling: horizontal or stair-step cracks in block walls, bowing or leaning foundation walls, sagging floors or rooflines, or cracks that are wide or growing. An engineer can say what is happening and what the repair should be.

How is an engineer evaluation different from a home inspection?

A home inspection identifies and documents visible defects across the whole house. A structural engineer focuses on the structural concern, determines its cause and significance, and can specify a repair.

Can you arrange the engineer for me?

Yes. We coordinate the evaluation with our structural engineering partner and schedule it quickly, because an engineer's findings are most useful before your inspection contingency runs out.
