He is extremely knowledgeable, communicates detals in an easy way and is very prompt to deliver. He often finds other ways to engineer things that we hadnt considered which make him our 1st choice in engineers. We would highly reccommend him and his services."

"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."

"The person who came out and gave an estimate for the work was very accurate in his measurements and was very courteous. They gave us the lowest quote, so we called a couple of weeks later to set up the time for them to work on it. They came to do the work at the scheduled time. They explained what they would be doing and when they were done showed the work to me. There must have been some lack of communication somewhere because the crew that came to do the work didn't know they would have to be tearing out a couple of walls to get the trench dug out. They did it anyway and everything was installed and working great so far, though we haven't had a rainfall yet. The only complaint that we have is that they left a lot to clean up, but I think that was partly because they hadn't planned on cutting out a couple of walls. The price was so low though that if they had planned on that I think the estimate would have been a lot higher. So for that price, we could do the cleanup without too much complaining. This is a company we would definitely hire again.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put a doorway in a structural wall; in fact, most exterior doors are set into structural walls. The project is a little more challenging than installing a door in a non-load-bearing wall because you need a structural engineer to assess the wall and make sure it’s safe to create a wall opening. Your engineer’s report will include instructions for your contractor on how and where to install additional supports, like steel headers above the door, to distribute the weight above to the wall on either side of the door.

You need to hire a structural engineer when building or modifying any component with a structural load in your home. Common situations where you would need a structural engineer include home inspections when buying or selling a home, investigating possible issues with your foundation, beams, load-bearing walls, or chimneys, breaking ground on a new home or structure on your property, and renovating an old part of your home that could threaten any structural integrity. Home additions and bump-outs also require an engineer.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

Structural engineers typically conduct inspections during a home sale or renovation, looking for signs of structural damage in various structures throughout the building, such as load-bearing walls, joists, beams, roofing trusses, foundations, and chimneys. Some of the warning signs that structural engineers check for include:

  • Dry rot

  • Infestation

  • Shifting or cracking foundations

  • Erosion

  • Water damage

  • Sagging, shifting, or damaged walls, ceilings, or roofing support
