"I was very disappointed. Their report was through, detailed and useless. It said the house had experienced normal and natural movement, and recommended putting in very expensive foundation pilings. This is certain to make it more difficult to sell, and they refused to add any mitigating discussion of whether such movement is common or the likely outcomes of actions taken or not taken. They took over 100 photographs of every flaw, problem and imperfection so nobody can ever claim they weren't thorough but they offered no engineering judgement or opinion at all. I got little more from them than I could have gotten for free from a piling salesman. It appeared they were not concerned at all about my needs as a customer, but only about covering themselves should any legal issues ever arise. The other part of this report had to to with roof construction. It stated that roof movement had occurred that was not normal, pointed out inadequacies in the framing, and recommended strengthening the construction. They still offered no engineering judgement, but this problem was at least more clear cut."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Yes, water damage can affect your walls' structural integrity. If the water or moisture sits on the walls for an extended period, it can weaken the drywall, plaster, wood framing, and other materials supporting the wall. That's why it's critical to dry out the area as soon as you notice it.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Yes, unresolved damage can decrease property integrity and market value.

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.
