"Had exterior crack and had companies come by saying I need extremely expensive piers put in and it seemed like they gave different opinions about each other and the work that needed to be done. Like they were trying to sell me. I decided to get a professional opinion by a structural engineer who had no monetary gain by my decision on what to do. They recommended just filling in the cracks and keeping an eye on it and it may not need any further actions and that if it does it is not something that requires immediate attention that would need to be done right now. If I do need piers in the future it might not need as many as the sales people were trying to sell me and if I don’t it will save me from other repairs the piers may have caused besides how much they would be. Definitely worth the money and if I have any other issues with it they will be the 1st people I call for their professional opinion."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

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.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar.
