Services
Structural Engineering
Our structural engineers assess residential and commercial properties for foundation integrity, roof stability, and load-bearing capacity. We identify movement patterns, diagnose damage causes, and develop remediation plans using advanced survey tools. Clients receive detailed reports with actionable recommendations for repairs and preventive maintenance.
Foundation Repair Plans
We create customized foundation repair blueprints addressing slab and pier-and-beam systems. Our plans consider soil conditions, structural history, and drainage factors to determine optimal solutions like pressed piles or drilled piers. Each proposal includes cost estimates and contractor recommendations for proper implementation.
Home Inspections
TREC-licensed inspectors perform comprehensive evaluations including foundation mapping, thermal imaging, and wood-destroying insect checks. Our reports cover roofing, electrical systems, and drainage issues while identifying hidden problems through attic and crawlspace examinations. Infrared technology detects moisture and energy inefficiencies.
Forensic Engineering
We investigate structural failures and cosmetic damage to determine root causes like soil movement, plumbing leaks, or construction defects. Using elevation surveys and pattern analysis, our engineers provide expert testimony and repair strategies that address both symptoms and underlying issues affecting property integrity.
Permitting Services
Our team navigates local building codes to secure foundation repair permits across Dallas-Fort Worth. We prepare engineering reports for city agencies, handle compaction letters, and ensure compliance with municipal requirements. This includes specialized permits for tunneling, drainage modifications, and structural modifications.
