"DO NOT LET THEM IN YOUR HOME WITHOUT PROOF OF LIABILITY INSURANCE! BEWARE! This company and its inspector, C. Scott Burns, do not follow accepted home inspection standards and caused thousands of dollars in damage to my property during a home inspection. Despite providing pictures, documents, and fulfilling every request, the owner, Jeffery Donaldson, refused to pay for the damage. He only communicated through a generic customer support email and repeatedly refused to identify himself. A quick search of court records in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties will show that he has been involved in numerous lawsuits. I have been forced to seek legal action as well. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AS POSSIBLE. If you are buying or selling a home in the Charleston, SC area, ask who the inspector is and ensure you get a copy of their insurance policy before allowing them into your home. They will refuse to repair any damage caused by their incompetent inspectors. I am extremely disappointed in this company and its owner, Jeffery Donaldson. I will never let this shady business near any of my homes or my clients’ homes. I want to warn everyone to avoid the same painful process I and many others have experienced. There are many other reputable, knowledgeable, and well-trained inspection companies in the Charleston area, such as Cardinal, Hometeam Inspections, or literally ANYONE ELSE besides ACE Preferred Inspections."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.

Hiring a structural engineer costs about $550 on average. However, prices range from as low as $200 up to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge by project, hourly, or by the square footage, making it important to understand how your chosen engineer structures their estimates. Additional cost factors include project type, the scope of work, the size of the project, and your geographic location.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.
