"Mr. Calvo came out to my home and thoroughly investigated the framing of the foundation, the walls, and the design plans for our kitchen renovation which included removing walls. This allowed us to provide the GC with a certified engineering plan for all necessary changes for the project to succeed and pass inspections. We received a certified carefully detailed diagram specifying the required changes. The plan drawing called for the contractor to communicate back any discrepancies. Months later the project is in process and Mr. Calvo quickly acknowledged my emailed changes and made modifications to his plan design so the GC could proceed without any delay to the project. I am very pleased with the services that Mr. Calvo and his firm, IDE, have provided."

We are licensed Engineers in NC, SC, and VA. All structural reports graphically define structural deficiencies and include structural repair specifications.

"I would not hire this engineer again. He was referred by Ram Jack in 2009 for a structural foundation assessment and signed off on them installing a pier at a 5 foot depth in soil on top of a rock that was not load bearing. 10 years later Ram Jack refuses to fix the situation per another certified engineers assessment under their lifetime warranty, and his personal liability expires after 6 years. Either he is incompetent, or he is doing people favors."

"We needed our pool opened earlier than usual because we were selling our home. The company that has serviced our pool for the past several years has downsized and no longer offers that service. We asked friends who they used to service their pools and we received an enthusiastic recommendation for Carolina Pool King. They were out at our pool within a few days and had the pool completely clean and ready for inspection WEEKS more rapidly than any other pool company I've ever used. Although they weren't the least expensive, they ABSOLUTELY are the best pool company we've ever used. We no longer have a pool, but without reservation I will recommend Carolina Pool King to anyone in need of a company to service their swimming pool."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, unresolved damage can decrease property integrity and market value.

Their expertise in identifying potential problems early and implementing durable solutions safeguards your home’s integrity.

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.

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.

Yes, professionals reinforce the foundation with additional supports or piers to prevent future sinking.
