"Mina is extremely knowledgeable, clear, patient, and upfront. I never hired a structural engineer before and was feeling intimidated by the process. Kiro Engineering understood my issues and home renovation desires and provided me several solutions to make sure the result was safe and properly executed. Through conversation it was clear that Kiro is equally at home dealing with a homeowner like myself as well as very high end extensive and commercial projects. I can’t recommend Kiro enough for any structural engineering projects."

"Very professional experience with Mina, the engineer who thoroughly explained his findings and suggested remedies. He confirmed house settlement suspicions and causes in a lengthy, detailed report complete with photos.

"Saed and his team helped me with two different projects in my home, one was to remove our load bearing kitchen wall and the other was to create a vaulted ceiling in the living room by removing the ceiling joists. They handled both the permitting documentation and the construction work. They completed the work quickly and did everything they said they would. Saed and his brother are very easy-going guys, and I would highly recommend them."

"Tim is amazing. I was days from closing on a house when the underwriter decided a structural engineering report was required so I called and spoke with Tim on a Wednesday evening, met with him Thursday morning and had a report in my hand by Thursday at noon, less than 24hr turnaround! Needless to say Tim really helped me out and was very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. He will always be my go-to structural engineer."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A Lancaster home with a solid concrete or stone foundation, minimal settlement, and good drainage is well-suited for structural upgrades. Homes with accessible framing and quality original construction typically allow for smoother foundation repair or remodeling. However, properties with chronic dampness, large foundation cracks, or extensive unpermitted changes may need extra evaluation before starting any major structural engineering work.

Helpful?

For Lancaster’s climate, keep a moisture meter to monitor dampness, a digital level for detecting floor shifts, and crack monitors for tracking wall movement. Stock waterproofing sealants, expansion joint fillers, and gutter cleaning tools. A portable dehumidifier helps control basement humidity. Temporary support jacks and heavy-duty plastic sheeting are useful for emergencies until a foundation repair specialist can evaluate the situation.

Helpful?

In Lancaster, visible stair-step cracks in brick or stone, persistent water stains, or sloping floors can signal that earlier foundation repair or structural work may not have been effective. Watch for misaligned windows, doors that won’t latch, or beams with noticeable sagging. If you see evidence of unpermitted work or outdated methods not meeting current PA building codes, schedule a structural engineer’s assessment promptly.

Helpful?

New homeowners in Lancaster should begin with a comprehensive foundation inspection, especially if the home is historic or has a stone base. Assess basement waterproofing, check for signs of settlement, and review drainage around the property. Prioritize chimney stability, stair safety, and seismic retrofitting if needed. Document any visible modifications and verify that past structural work was properly permitted and up to current standards.

Helpful?

Many Lancaster homes feature historic stone foundations, irregular framing, or multiple additions, which can complicate foundation repair and structural upgrades. If your home has undergone previous renovations, removed load-bearing walls, or sits on clay-rich soil, expect extra planning. Homes in historic districts or those with unique layouts may also require specialized engineering solutions and careful coordination to preserve original features.
