"When we purchased our home in 2017, there was already a crack across the top 2 segments of the driveway where that area had sunk quite a bit. Besides the cosmetic issue, we felt this subsidence was also a tripping hazard. After researching online and using Angi, I found GROUNDWORKS (formerly FSS: Foundation Support Specialists) who came out to give an estimate. Ricardo showed up on time with advanced warning of his ETA. He was thorough and left me with a color-coded bid. Some of the driveway and sidewalk leading to the front door were going to be lifted, and some parts stabilized using the foam injection method. Even though I received bids from 2 other companies, I chose GROUNDWORKS for their 5-year warranty and mid-level pricing. All companies were 4.5 stars or higher on both Google and Angi. On the job day, they arrived on time. The job was completed in about 2 hours. I am very happy with the results."

At GreenWorks, we know that buying, building, or investing in property is one of the biggest decisions of your life. You deserve absolute peace of mind and confidence in your investment. That’s why we’ve built the nation’s largest privately owned, non-franchise inspection and engineering company—serving with unmatched quality, speed, and care. Unlike most inspectors who only point out problems, GreenWorks provides clear answers, proactive solutions, and cost transparency. Every inspection includes a detailed walkthrough, a comprehensive report with photos, and a free repair estimator so you know exactly what deficiencies mean and how much they will cost to fix. From foundation mapping, plumbing, and HVAC checks to mold, asbestos, radon, and lead testing, our comprehensive services ensure no detail is missed. For homeowners, we are your go-to partner from the first pre-pour on new construction to warranty inspections years later. For realtors, we keep deals moving forward with fast, accurate reports and communication your clients can trust. For commercial investors, we can inspect up to 900 units a day, delivering thorough PCAs, ESAs, and structural plans that keep feasibility studies on schedule. And for builders, we provide engineering-led quality assurance to make sure projects are built right the first time. Founded nearly two decades ago by CEO Harmony Brownwood, GreenWorks was created to raise the bar in an industry that too often settles for the bare minimum. Every inspector completes a rigorous training program—including structural engineering—before serving clients. Our team is backed by licensed engineers, cutting-edge technology, and a full support staff available 365 days a year. When you choose GreenWorks, you’re choosing more than an inspection. You’re choosing a long-term partner committed to safeguarding your property, protecting your investment, and giving you clarity at every step.

"I have a very dangerous situation with my foundation in the front of my house. I hired these guys to tell me how to tell a contractor to fix the problem. When they came out to inspect, I showed them the problem and they agreed, it was a real problem. Later, they send a report back that completely ignores the very real problem I have. Instead, telling me to fix the back of the house that is no problem at all. Trying to ask for further assistance, they said they did what I paid them for."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Yes, they offer plans for repairs or reinforcements to address issues.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.
