When you think you have foundation problems

When you think you have foundation problems - сontact a Structural Engineer as soon as possible. Only a Licensed Professional Engineer can render an opinion as to the structural integrity of the foundation. The foundation is the most important single component of the structure that is directly responsible for the stability of a
building. There are many reasons that foundations can fail. Generally speaking, any excessive force that causes the foundation to move (vertically or laterally) can have a destructive effect and cause foundation failure

A structural inspection provides an overview of the structural condition of the existing building structure

A structural inspection provides an overview of the structural condition of the existing building structure and determines if existing symptoms have an underlying structural cause. Structural inspection is the emphasis on assessing the structural integrity of the existing structure and analysing potential ways for the existing
problem to escalate if left untreated.
