"Had Betts Structural Engineering come and look at the foundation of a house we were in contract on. Josh came out and was professional and informative. He informed us the foundation was failing and explained what needed to be done. He throughly explained everything and told us how we could do it ourselves for much cheaper than a contractor could do it. In the end he saved us from a long and expensive process if we proceeded with the house."

"STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. They took my 1st half deposit and then vanished. I have called multiple times. Spoke with someone once and they promised a call back. Never did. Emailed and no response. This was over 4 months ago. Nothing. They stole my money. Sales guy was John Mullikin. Here's their class-act response by chat. The best response I've had yet. "Conversation closed by Erika"."

Weeden Waterproofing, Inc., in Avon Lake, Ohio, has served the west side of Cleveland, including Lorain and Cuyahoga counties, since 1999. Our goal is to find the most direct, yet comprehensive avenue to correcting your waterproofing and foundation issues. What separates us from the rest is our honesty and attention to detail while working on your project. We pride ourselves on diagnosing your problem on an individual basis, as opposed to selling a waterproofing job to everyone.

"I highly recommend John and his team (Matt and Trevor) for any basement waterproofing. John provided an honest assessment of our project and tasks that I could do to reduce the project costs. Trevor and Matt hand dug to the foundation, discovered a small crack in the footer, then dug even further down to provide underpinning for the footer. The wall was sealed and a new window well constructed with brick. The area was backfilled with gravel and topped with premium soil. All work was completed within 5 days. Good people!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Lorain homeowners are opting for open concept layouts by removing load-bearing walls and adding exposed beams, especially in historic homes. Basement finishing is popular for extra living space, often requiring egress windows and waterproofing. Second-story additions, sunrooms with engineered foundations, and garage conversions are also trending. Many projects focus on preserving original architectural details while reinforcing structures to withstand Lorain’s variable weather.

Helpful?

Structural engineering projects in Lorain enhance comfort and safety by addressing issues like foundation settling from Lake Erie’s moisture and freeze-thaw cycles. Upgrades such as basement waterproofing, open floor plan conversions, and foundation stabilization improve usable space and prevent water intrusion. These improvements also help older homes meet current building codes, increase energy efficiency, and boost long-term property value for Lorain homeowners.

Helpful?

When hiring a structural engineering pro in Lorain, prioritize experience with local soil conditions and older home construction. Ensure they have expertise in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and navigating local building codes. Look for clear communication, detailed project timelines, and transparent estimates. Request references from Lorain-area projects to confirm reliability and knowledge of the region’s unique structural challenges.

Helpful?

In Lorain, structural engineering contractors include firms focused on foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and load-bearing wall modifications. You’ll also find civil engineers with structural expertise, historic home renovation specialists, and contractors skilled in beam and column installation. Many are familiar with Lorain’s clay-heavy soils and older housing stock, ensuring solutions tailored to local weather, soil movement, and common architectural styles.

Helpful?

In Lorain, structural maintenance involves annual foundation inspections to detect shifting caused by clay soils and moisture, checking basement walls for cracks or leaks, and ensuring sump pumps and drainage systems function properly. After winter, inspect for snow or ice damage to roof supports. Regularly maintain basement waterproofing and monitor for rust on steel supports to protect against Lorain’s humid climate and seasonal weather changes.
