Foundation Repair Engineering
Foundation repair engineering can be a necessary step to ensure that your home is as safe as possible. Many homes begin to develop problems with their foundation, and a foundation engineer can analyze this and create a report that clarifies the problem.

When you contact a specialist for foundation repair engineering, you can be sure that each quote that you get from contractors for the repair work actually encompasses the same scope of work – an “apples to apples” comparison based on the engineer’s analysis and recommendations. This is a very important factor to consider. If you get 3 estimates from different foundation contractors and one of them is much lower than the other two, it is possible that the lower bid may not include enough piers to safely and correctly level your house. In some cases, it may even be possible that the low-ball contractor might come back to you halfway through the project and say the price will actually be higher because of the need for more piers than was originally quoted. This can be avoided with an engineer’s report.
If you have already gotten quotes from various contractors and the numbers vary widely, a foundation repair engineering report may be in order. We have working relationships with several foundation repair engineers, or we can work with one that you may have already chosen.
In many instances, the money spent for foundation repair engineering is well worth the cost. When you have a report from an engineer in hand, the contractor that you hire to do the actual work must follow the scope of work that the engineer has specified in his or her report. When the repair work is finished, the engineer will come back to verify that the work was completed according to the specifications outlined in the original report.
In addition, when the engineer verifies that the work has been done according to spec, you will get that finalized document confirming this. That document can be very valuable to you should you ever decide to sell the home – it tells any prospective buyer that the foundation repair engineering was done correctly and has been approved by the engineer that did the inspection before and after.
The condition of your home's foundation is arguably the most important factor in its overall structural integrity. When a problem arises, it's possible that you'll see actual cracks in your walls, brickwork or other surfaces. Foundation damage could also cause your home to become slanted and appear as if it's beginning to sink further into the ground. Serious foundation damage could also cause your door and window frames to shift and break, making it more difficult or even impossible to actually close your doors or windows.
