STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING INSPECTIONS
A structural engineering inspection offers a professional assessment of a building or home's structural condition and integrity. This evaluation, conducted by experienced engineers, determines whether the structural elements (such as the foundation and framing) are currently performing their intended function.
Our inspection includes:
-
A thorough examination of all visible and accessible parts of the foundation walls, including surface drainage around the building to identify water entry issues, if any.
-
Detailed inspection of all visible and accessible framing, with a focus on identifying signs of distress and sagging.
-
A comprehensive review of structural comments from previous home inspections.
Our goal is to provide you with a thorough understanding of your property's structural integrity and any potential concerns that may require attention.
