Customers say: True professional

"I contacted 4 companies to inspect my foundation and quote any recommended repairs. The quotes ranged from 6 to 16 piers, and $4K to $14K. While there were some similarities, there was a LOT of discrepancy between the work needed, what was included or extra, etc. I decided to obtain my own Structural Engineering report, and HIGHLY recommend CROSSTOWN ENGINEERING. Crosstown is completely independent and unbiased; they donâ t repair foundations and were not trying to sell me anything. They are professional, friendly and found an opening the next day. The engineer simply evaluated the property and provided a detailed report stating, â the foundation is performing as intended and we do not recommend foundation repairs at this time.â Best $400 Iâ ve ever spent! I have confidence in their findings, and I saved a LOT of money! If I have any concerns in the future, Crosstown will be my FIRST call!"

"Called Melissa at Crosstown and she quickly routed my call to Adam Green, structural engineer and after explaining the situation, he provided several referrals to lintel repair companies. No charge for call or referral!!"

"Mr. Green was able to come out just a few hours after we spoke of a morning, which allowed me to receive the structural engineering evaluation I needed, within my 7-day option period on the house we are to purchase. Mr. Green was very thorough, literally walking me through his verbal report, and gave me a plan of action for a settling/sinking concrete slab addition. I highly recommend Mr. Green's services!"

"I recently hired Lev Engineering for my 70-year-old home, and I'm delighted with the service I received. Jordan was not only prompt in responding to my inquiry but also provided thorough and detailed assessments of my home's structural integrity. His expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the process, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of professional structural assessment. Lisa was timely with her attention as well. Thanks, Lev Engineering!! Confidence level: High"

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 early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

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.

Many horizontal cracks in home foundations result from water and soil pressure from outside of the building or from a footing that is shifting. Under those circumstances, horizontal cracks are a structural problem that requires repair before they become worse and more difficult to fix. However, in very specific cases, thin horizontal cracks may simply be a cosmetic blemish due to concrete shrinkage.

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.
