Our ASCE-compliant foundation inspections assess concrete slab, pier & beam, and mobile home foundations for structural integrity. Licensed Texas engineers perform visual diagnostics and provide written reports detailing defects, with recommendations for repairs. We evaluate factors like soil characteristics and drainage patterns that impact foundation performance, helping property owners understand potential repair needs and costs.
Forensic Engineering Analysis
Specialized forensic investigations determine the origin and cause of structural failures using scientific principles and physical evidence. Our engineers analyze building defects through site inspections, document reviews, and hypothesis testing. This process identifies root causes of structural issues while eliminating potential misdiagnoses, providing clients with accurate information for remediation planning and legal proceedings.
