"I had to get someone to do structural inspection quickly and Luis seemed to be the only person available. All others were busy, taking vacation, or not responsive. Price was more expensive than what others offered but my area was Sussex county and I needed an engineer asap. Report turnaround was the next day (wow!).

There were some follow up questions I asked Luis but I felt he was being too professional in answering them, I guess that can be a good thing for them, but not for me. I was just looking for basic opinions on the shape of the house but Luis was for some reason representing these questions as some kind of warranty. I'm not sure if this is the norm for structural engineers, but whatever.

Anyways, Luis was great, I wish the price was cheaper for what I got but I guess the urgency of the inspection made up for it."

"It went great. A rep and an engineer came over and inspected the walls. They got into the attic and checked everything out. They determined the walls were not load bearing and mailed me a letter stating that. It was an easy process and I would use them again in the future."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

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

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

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.
