"Mickel was great to work with from start to finish. He advised us on the best way to approach our situation, was up front about expectations and costs, and was clear with his progress throughout the project. He was available by phone, text, and email, and promptly returned communication when we reached out. Mickel was very knowledgeable about the different options available to us and even pointed out certain problems areas that we'd need to focus on not even related to the work he was doing (water damage in certain areas, proper ventilation for our basement, etc). I'm very much looking forward to working with Mickel again in the future!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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 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?

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

Yes, professionals reinforce the foundation with additional supports or piers to prevent future sinking.
