"I had an issue with my inground pool floating after a week of heavy rain. Cyrus contacted me quickly and set up an appointment to inspect my pool the very next day. Cyrus was extremely professional and explain everything in layman terms. I highly recommend Cyrus if you are looking for a well qualified structural engineer. Thank you Cyrus!"

"I had a great experience working with Omid Gharavi of OGV Structural Engineering for structural engineering permit services for my home in Baltimore. He was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. The drawings he prepared and stamped, along with the engineering letter, were approved by the county without issue, allowing me to move forward with my home project. I truly appreciate his expertise and would highly recommend his services."

"We had structural issues and didn’t know where to start. Jeffery is an excellent engineer for the job. He was very cordial, communicative and upfront with what he intended to do, the inspection was thorough and he did a few tests to make sure he was getting to the heart of our problem. He was able to scope the issue and give us a detailed breakdown of how to proceed during our consultation and a written report a week after. His rate is unbeatable and the most affordable in the game. Definitely highly recommend his service for any structural inspection."

"I hired Peter to provide an overall structural assessment of my house and to offer his professional advice on a few issues that came up during the initial home inspection. Peter was very responsive and was able to come out much sooner than he had originally anticipated. During the assessment I found Peter to be both congenial and professional. He clearly had the in-depth knowledge of older Baltimore homes that I had been seeking and was able to succinctly explain various aspects of the house in a relatively short period of time. I would not hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him for the type of service he provided to me."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Many horizontal cracks in home foundations result from water and soil pressure from outside of the building or from a footing that is shifting. Under those circumstances, horizontal cracks are a structural problem that requires repair before they become worse and more difficult to fix. However, in very specific cases, thin horizontal cracks may simply be a cosmetic blemish due to concrete shrinkage.

The standard thickness for an LVL beam is between 1.75 inches and 7 inches. However, you can order LVL beams in non-standard sizes as well. When you work with a contractor, they can source beams that are the appropriate size for your project for you after assessing your blueprints.

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.
