"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

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.

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

The National Association of Home Builders requires repair of any foundation crack of more than one quarter of an inch, although local regulations may vary. In general, any visible crack that is growing in size, allowing water through, or that you have just noticed, is a good reason to call a structural engineer. Cracks can be a sign of a sinking foundation, so an inspection is a good idea for your peace of mind.

Yes, they offer plans for repairs or reinforcements to address issues.

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.
