"I’m a realtor and I had a client selling their house who needed a structural engineer to evaluate something. I called Jendusa because they are so well respected that I knew their report would answer and questions the buyer’s had. I called and Venu met me at the home. He was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to answer questions. I highly recommend them!"

"Dan from Construct Boss recently remodeled our 30 year old bathroom and brought it from hideous to absolutely beautiful. Dan was respectful of both our time schedule and our budget. He made informed suggestions when we didn't quite know what to choose and he walked us through every selection and procedure. He was skilled, professional and a genuinely nice guy. The end result was better than I ever could have imagined. He will now forever be our go-to guy for our future projects. If you're looking for an honest guy to do a fabulous job, Dan at Construct Boss is your man."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The National Association of Home Builders requires repair of any foundation crack of more than one quarter of an inch, although local regulations may vary. In general, any visible crack that is growing in size, allowing water through, or that you have just noticed, is a good reason to call a structural engineer. Cracks can be a sign of a sinking foundation, so an inspection is a good idea for your peace of mind.

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

You need to hire a structural engineer when building or modifying any component with a structural load in your home. Common situations where you would need a structural engineer include home inspections when buying or selling a home, investigating possible issues with your foundation, beams, load-bearing walls, or chimneys, breaking ground on a new home or structure on your property, and renovating an old part of your home that could threaten any structural integrity. Home additions and bump-outs also require an engineer.

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.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?
