"Called us immediately and came out to our project first thing in the morning. I told him that my wife was up worrying all night because there were lout popping noises in our roof and she wanted to move out to a hotel. He did a thorough inspection and explained what the noises were from and why they were common this time of year, especially in older homes. I tried to pay him but he refused, quite a gentleman, you do not find those kind of people around anymore. I would gladly hire these guys for ANY project I do in the future. Do not go anywhere else for a Structural Engineer...."

"I had to remodel my kitchen that was not planned. The Brother & Brother Builders team provided different remodel quotes to update my living space. I am glad I chose this builder because they were so knowledgeable and provided suggestions that increased the functionality of my home. The remodel was on budget and the team, Andres, Jorge and Nir answered all of my questions and concerns. Great group of people to work with."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers—which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil—are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.

Indications include cracks in walls, uneven floors, and sticking doors or windows that suggest foundation movements.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.
