ICON Engineering And Inspection Services PLLC

I was looking at purchasing a home that had undergone nearly $40,000 in foundation repairs and wanted to ensure that the work had been done correctly. I contacted several structural engineering firms in Louisville, KY. only to learn that the vast majority of them do not provide structural home inspections and work primarily on much larger projects. Mr. Bradshaw, who is a professional structural engineer certified by the state of Kentucky, arrived promptly with digital camera in hand. He went over the entire outside of the home and the inside performing a visual inspection, taking notes and photos. He showed me two outside walls that were not level, a failing retaining wall, and failing tiebacks. He also determined that a floor that the foundation repair company said was sinking was actually "teeter-tottering," it had sunk on one side and lifted up on the other side. In short, there were numerous problems with the previous foundation repair and the home still had ongoing problems, all of which Mr. Bradshaw documented in an 11 page report complete with photos. Mr. Bradshaw said a home inspector would have pointed out many of the same problems but it was important for me to have a someone who specialized in structural engineering assessments. I came to this conclusion after learning that the foundation repair company doesn't even employ a structural engineer on its staff. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Timothy Bradshaw and Icon Engineering. His work is impeccable and thorough. The money I paid was well worth the peace of mind in knowing what problems I would face with any needed repairs.
