"Scotty was very prompt in phoning me and was able to come out the next day. He was right on time and very professional. He inspected our shower and recommended we get a bigger fan and purchase a dehumidifier. He told me how to clean the mildew and said since we weren’t showing signs of respiratory problems he didn’t recommend air quality test at this time, but told us how much it would cost ($150.00 less than one phone quote) if we wanted to have it done. We offered to pay him for his time, but he refused stating the inspection is free. Not too many businesses are like this in this day. I would highly recommend HISCO Enviromental to anyone requiring this type of service!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

No, squeaky floors do not always mean there is structural damage. The noise is often caused by friction from issues like loose floorboards, gaps between the subfloor and joists, or loose subflooring. While many squeaks are harmless, persistent or worsening noise could indicate a more severe problem. If you notice other signs of structural damage—such as soft or sagging floors, cracks running from the wall to the ceiling, or horizontal cracks in your foundation—it's best to have a professional inspect your floor to determine the root cause.

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.
