"I had a hand drafted plan for my house. Bryson turned it into an architectural drawing and did all of the engineering in about two weeks. The county had zero issues with the plan that I submitted for my building permit, which was the goal. Bryson worked with me on improving the drafts until it was right. I appreciated their promptness and very reasonable price. I would use Washington Engineering again on another project."

"GS engineering, and Sim Singh in particular have been fantastic to work with. I am a general contractor and have had to hire a number of structural firms over time. Sim offers a very rare combination of a high level of skill in a highly technical field (specifically engineering) a high level of professionalism, and an overall pleasant personality/demeanor. As long as he has the time to take my calls, it is doubtful that I would ever call a different structural engineer than Sim."

"It was a very in depth view or snapshot of what the structure conditions currently were and a extra recommended opinion for DYI or hire a professional for any deficiencies. The only reason I didn’t rate 5/5 on professionalism was due to the fact that it was not a “commercial chain” business. This is a local small business owner I try to support local businesses. Do not be mistaken, the quality of services provided was far better than what you would expect for corporate businesses. The report provided was easy to read and I had no questions however, he did tell me that if I had any he would answer my questions so I could understand. To give you an idea of my situation was, I needed a home inspection for a house that I wanted to buy here in Washington but I was in Afghanistan at the time. The report was clear with pictures and added graphics so even not being local at the time I was able to have confidence enough in the service provided to move forward on the sale. Great job."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

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.

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
