In business since 2005

I have 13 years of experience in structural engineering and a solid background in the construction industry. For the past four years, I have been involved in forensic engineering with an emphasis in foundation failure analysis. I am licensed in the State of Colorado as a Professional Engineer.\n\nUnfortunately, we live in an area where swelling soils is a common problem. Clay soil or claystone bedrock will attract and absorb moisture causing them to swell in volume. Hence, the name swelling soils. This phenomenon may result in minor to severe damage to a home�s foundation due to movement. Wall and/or ceiling drywall cracking and problems with doors may be an indication of foundation problems. If you are experiencing these conditions, I can help assess the situation and give you opinions that will help you reach an informed decision. \n\nFoundation problems are my specialty and the only type of work I do. I can help you understand what is happening to cause your foundation problems and advise you on your best course of action. In addition, foundation companies make their money by selling you piers; I can review their proposal and give you guidance.\n\n

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

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.

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 structural engineer’s report is almost always worth it, as it can help you avoid buying or overpaying for a home with structural issues. The most important thing the report does for you is provide peace of mind that you won’t have to pay thousands of dollars for structural repairs right after closing on a property.

Any issue that affects the structural integrity or soundness of a home is considered a structural issue. In addition to foundation cracks, other signs of structural issues include roof leaks, bowing walls, sloping floors, gaps around windows and doors, and more.
