EverDry of Cincinnati is a full service basement waterproofing and foundation repair company. Our patented multi-step system is chosen by the vast majority of out customers.
"It would be zero if I could. DO NOT let them sell you on the WARRANTY aspect of their service! Not only have we had a few major issues over the 20 + years we have been customers but we currently have an actively flooding basement and I cannot for the life of me get someone out for service in a timely manner. They have "scheduled" us for an appointment that is months away. Meanwhile, it continues to rain and snow, water pouring into my basement. I've had to use and dump a large wet vac hours on end to try and contain it. Which tells me, either their system is so ineffective that multiple people are having the same issue so they don't have any appointments available or they simply prioritize new installs over emergencies. I've had my basement finished, had to rip everything out several years ago due to the system. I'm a seamstress and my work room is in the basement. Expensive machines. So much property destroyed and the time lost working is costing me thousands."

Construction company and consulting engineering firm for residential, industrial, commercial, institutional, and retail clients.
"Had Betts Structural Engineering come and look at the foundation of a house we were in contract on. Josh came out and was professional and informative. He informed us the foundation was failing and explained what needed to be done. He throughly explained everything and told us how we could do it ourselves for much cheaper than a contractor could do it. In the end he saved us from a long and expensive process if we proceeded with the house."

Stay Dry Waterproofing, LLC specializes in Waterproofing Basements, foundation settlement repairs, and mold testing and removal. We use patented, safe and proven methods of repair.
"They are overpriced, did not take proper precautions to protect our carpet, promised us professional carpet cleaning, then sent out two of their guys with rags and a shop vac to “clean” the carpets. Then we were told it’s not policy to send out carpet cleaners, and that we’re on our own. We were promised 4 different things involving quality of the project, none were done. This place is a total scam, and has SERIOUS communication and misinformation issues internally. Would never use them again. All they did was open up walls, spray some stuff, made a mess, and left us to handle any problems stemming from their lack of attention to detail, and crappy policies."

AO Engineers provides residential and small scale commercial assessment, consulting, design, and analysis. Licensed in Kentucky and Ohio, AO Engineers provides friendly, prompt, and cost effective engineering services in Cincinnati and surrounding areas.
"Great experience! This is our first home and our first big project. I loved that they provide multiple options depending on the level of detail you want/need. We went with the option providing the google sketch-up, Eric was able to provide sample reports and sketchups beforehand so I had a better idea of which worked best for us, and he was very quick with responses and was able to come out to look at the house within a few days (I think they could have done it even sooner but we wanted a little time). We wanted to invest in the plans upfront in hopes that we can do more of the work ourselves and we love the level of detail provided in the report and sketchup. Would highly suggest using AO Structural Engineers!"

Structural engineering services FAQs
No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.
Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.
The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:
Do you have experience working in my specific area?
Do you have professional indemnity insurance?
What will your structural report cover?
Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?
How long have you been in business?
Do you have a list of customer references?
Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.
Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
