From craftsman-style homes to post-modern architecture, we design projects of all shapes and sizes: retaining walls, home remodels and additions, historic renovations, concrete "tilt-ups", steel framed buildings, luxury swimming pools, commercial tenant improvements, and more. We investigate and structurally evaluate existing buildings, and can navigate the building permit process. Our company policy is simple: always follow through on promises, and always keep deadlines. Combine that with engineered solutions that are unmatched in detail and ease of construction, and the result is repeat customers who gladly refer our services to others. In short, we are not satisfied unless our clients are happy. As a local family business we provide personal customer care and quick responses, keeping our clients' projects on schedule and under budget. Stonewall Structural Engineering is your premier engineering firm from drafting table through construction. Give us a call today.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Any issue that affects the structural integrity or soundness of a home is considered a structural issue. In addition to foundation cracks, other signs of structural issues include roof leaks, bowing walls, sloping floors, gaps around windows and doors, and more.

A structural engineer’s report includes a professional assessment of a property’s foundation condition, structural elements like roof trusses and floor joists, and the skeleton of the home, including studs, beams, and rafters. It will also usually include an assessment of drainage on the property and any potential issues that could arise from environmental conditions, like extreme weather in the area and even tree placement.

The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.
