"The guys from Obsidian came for one issue that was a non-issue, and pointed out how water around my house was slowly damaging to the structure of the home. They did not try to sell me anything, and solely wanted me to understand how I could improve the water flow around my home. I am a gardener and they suggested a rain garden with the rerouting of my water, which was wonderful! They pointed out the damage, which was noticeable. The first structural engineering firm I had was all about sales, never pointed out the water issue, and said the cracks in the interior walls needed to be fixed immediately, and I could call JES. Obsidian was all about making sure my home stands in a healthy way for many years to come! They said the cracks in my walls were repaired prior to me moving in and had just reopened -- no big deal but normal settling (1963 home). They are honest and ethical and I would call them again in a heartbeat!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Signs of structural damage include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems. 

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.

A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.

All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers—which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil—are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.

Most lenders and homeowner’s insurance companies don’t mandate a structural engineer’s inspection, so in most cases, it’s not required. However, it’s a good idea to have one done anyway to ensure you know what you’re buying. You can use the report to carry out repairs after closing or even to negotiate the sale price before closing.
