"Excellent. This experience was the best I have had hiring outside help. After it was installed, I had some concerns and asked Aaron to come by. He came over on a Friday evening and to my surprise, agreed and quickly went above and beyond to remedy the situation. He was understanding and agreed with my concerns. Later I was worried about a sound I was hearing coming from the sump pump. He came up on a Sunday and turned out it was my old pump (not the new one they had installed) that was making the noise. He removed it and clearly explained why it was making the noise. The perimeter drain, pump, and dry well that they installed have all worked great since the installation, which was nearly 9 months ago now. It was very clear making sure a job was completed well and with integrity was important to him. It was comforting to know I was working with a company who valued customer service and doing a job well. Their prices were more reasonable than the 3 other companies I had estimates from. I would definitely use them if needed in the future."

"I did not do promotion through Angie's List because I had no idea what worked I needed done before they came out and wrote the estimate but I did select them through their ratings on this site.  They took care of the problem and the new home owner's have a guarantee so no complaints there.  The original time estimate to get to the job was a week and a half to two weeks.  I told them I had about two weeks to closing (work was done as a result of inspection after home sale and I committed to getting it done).  After two weeks I had not heard from them so I called to see when it could be done.  I told them it was now or never as I would have to write a check at closing to the new home owners in lieu of the work being done if it could not be done by closing.  I will give them a break as it was a period of heavy rain and emergency situations so I know they were swamped (pun intended).  They did get the work done for e.  When the work was estimated it was $450 for each crack.  I didn't know how to judge the price so I asked how many people it would take and how long would it take.  I was told it would take two people most of a day or three people for half a day if I needed it done in less time for the day. So the price seemed reasonable.  As it turned out - one guy came out and completed the work in less than five hours.  He did a great job and was very courteous so no complaints with that just now the price seems high considering the labor involved.  I had paid $40 for the estimate which was included in the $900 so you got to figure that time too but still seems high to me.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A structural engineer evaluates any structural components, like floors, foundations, walls, and roofs, to ensure they can support the structure. They also consider the soil quality in your area, potentially extreme weather conditions, and proximity to bodies of water and groundwater to ensure your building can withstand any stresses placed on it by the surrounding environment. Structural engineers work on both new and existing buildings.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?
