Very poor and unfair inspection. I have water coming into my house due to a contractor putting shorter gutters than what I originally had and the rain diverter is short too. I have water flowing into my house because there is nothing to take the water away. I never had any problems with my leaks in my house until this. The inspector, Robert Push, took pictures of other things other than the cause of the problem. When I pointed to him the evidence of what the cause of the issue showing the water marks streaming down from the roof in between the short gutter and short diverter, he ignored what I showed him and began to find other things to take photos of that had no relation or was even in the vicinity of the problem area to make his report look “professional”. He was hired by the contractor and was biased to what evidence I had. I even had video of that day and told him and he said nothing. The jargon in the report was constantly beating around the bush to what the problem was, saying that I should do a water test and then his conclusion was that it was wind driven rain that caused the problem. How can he make an analysis like that when he performed no tests and was at my house on a sunny day. The day I had the water come in there were no strong winds and I have video proving everything. If you are a contractor that wants to get away with some shady stuff, then these may be the people for you. But their inspection was very unprofessional, poor, and lacked integrity.

Response from BE Structural, PC
"Sounds like the crawl space was not regularly maintained and would fall under a confined space as defined by OSHA. https://www.osha.gov/confinedspaces/faq.html The fact that there were feces under the building make it a hazardous space and would have required a full face respirator. We have had field engineers become ill upon entering crawl spaces due to mold, mildew, standing water and in this case human feces without a respirator and the proper precautions even though we have policies regarding entry and provide reimbursement for respirators. We allow our field engineers discretion in entering crawl spaces and provide them with the means to purchase a full face respirator. I was not aware of this customer's discontent with the service, I wish he would have contacted me directly. We assign these projects to licensed professionals and some have full time employment and are interested in bettering their lives by taking on additional work outside of their fulltime endeavors. I don't see this as a negative but as a positive factor in maintaining their skill level as well as increasing their exposure in seeing different types of projects and at the same time filling a need in the residential market place that is under served by engineers for purely economic reasons. If you do have a crawl space in your project and use our service please feel free to contact our office to discuss the limitations of what we are capable of providing within the time allotted based on the fee charged. I am disappointed that we did not fulfill this customers' expectations, however I was not given the chance to discuss or offer additional efforts to address his concerns."

When I contacted their office, I spoke to Melissa Colestock. She was friendly and answered many of my questions. Although the company is located in Pennsylvania, they are licensed in other states and have employees working for them in those states. Melissa found a structural engineer located 30 minutes from my home and was able to schedule an inspection on a Saturday, only four days after my phone call.
Wesley Culver inspected my home. He was punctual and very easy to talk to. He answered my questions and was able to put many of my concerns to rest while he was there. I received the report of his findings four days after his visit. The report was easy to read and easy to understand what repairs needed to be done on my home. The report also mentioned items that, although they pose no problems now and may never do so, should be monitored.
I would not hesitate to use BE Structural again or recommend them. I found them to be professional, knowledgeable, their fee reasonable and the staff a pleasure to work with.

Before I joined Angie's List, I could not find anyone who would/could do this evaluation. I was absolutely surprised and grateful!

The specific representative was Keith Hull, Professional Engineer. He was courteous, professional, and thorough and, to the point, provided an analysis which saved us a lot of money. The written report included appropriate photographs, a description of the structure of the house (and of its integrity), and recommendations with regard to how to repair the foundation wall to prevent the intrusion of water in the future.

The receptionist/office manager - Brenda Himes, was always very responsive. She was a pleasure to talk to on the telephone, although most of the communications were via email. Bruce Ensor, the owner called personally to check on progress and get clarification. Bruce even talked directly to the Manager at the county Building Department to ensure he was taking all the issues into consideration. I also worked with Nitin Bajracharya, who was very helpful in making alternative solutions to the roof part of the project. I am very happy with the outcome of this project, and highly recommend using this company for your engineering needs.

Response from BE Structural, PC
"We make structural assessments based on visual observations. A trained professional can spot structural issues and framing methods by visual observation in most cases. Some continuing displacements can be hidden by progressive repairs. If cracks in drywall and concrete and other rigid materials are not hidden by repairs the cracks will be able to tell a story driven by the direction, width and location of each of the cracks when looking at the building as a whole. Residential Framing in Florida is mostly supported by concrete slabs on grade and with the soil and subsurface conditions in Florida the displacement of the slab and the super structure can be difficult to identify and address without removing work. Customers are informed that our services are limited to visual observations, without demolition of finish materials or moving equipment or furniture. Took a look at the report and we provided the assessment that he requested, not sure why he feels as though we received a D rating for this. If you went to the doctor and he made a visual examination of your vital signs without conducting invasive tests would you take him seriously just because he "looked around"?"

My meeting with Bruce went very well. I have had 8 companies come out to bid for this job. Bruce and Pier Magic are clearly at the top of their field. I have a full report from a Structural Engineer, Dennis Sieg. This has helped all of the foundation companies with their analysis of my home. Bruce and Pier Magic are very knowledgeable about the work they do. I would trust them to do the work. The estimate I received is right in line with the other foundation companies I have acquired quotes from. This company seemed like the most knowledgeable and responsible. I have not had this work done yet. The range of quotes for this work is $13,000-$18,000. Pier Magic is at the top of my list because I feel I can trust them the most. Their quote is $16,500. This is reasonable for this type of work with a reputable company like Pier Magic. I will put out a review when the work is completed, by whomever I choose to do the work.

Philip came out within a week and evaluated the property in a single visit. Pointed out a number of things but especially a couple important details about improvements we could make. We followed his improvement suggestions and upon removal of a brick patio struck paydirt, finding a large hole under an old concrete walk against our foundation. There was no way to see the hole under the brick and there were no signs of standing water against the house.
Was worth every penny to make sure we spent money only on those activities that would address the problem. We feel like we spent money on the right things as a result of our consultation and saved $10,000 from those that might dig up our basement so we could be more effective at NOT solving our problem.
