Inspection FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I get a structural inspection?
Common triggers include visible cracks in foundations or walls, sagging floors or roof lines, doors/windows that stick, before buying a home, before a renovation or addition, or after a storm, flood, or settling event.
What's the difference between a home inspection and a structural engineering assessment?
A general home inspector performs a broad visual review of a property's systems. A structural engineering assessment is a focused, PE-led evaluation of load-bearing elements, foundations, and framing β€” often including calculations and repair design.
Do you use 3D scanning during inspections?
Yes, where beneficial. 3D LiDAR scanning captures precise measurements of out-of-plane walls, foundation movement, and framing conditions, supporting more accurate reporting and repair design.
Will I get a written report with repair recommendations?
Yes. Every inspection includes a written report documenting findings, photos, and prioritized, code-compliant repair recommendations.
How quickly can you schedule a structural inspection?
We typically schedule inspections within days, and rush turnaround is available for real estate transactions with tight deadlines.
