Pittsburgh Structural Inspections & Evaluations
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING INSPECTIONS
PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENT
Our Pittsburgh structural engineering condition assessment provides an expert opinion on the building's structural condition and integrity. Our certified engineers assess crucial elements like the foundation and framing, ensuring they meet design standards and continue to support anticipated loads. We meticulously inspect visible and accessible areas, including foundation walls, surface drainage, and framing, identifying signs of distress or sagging. Additionally, we review structural comments from home inspections to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING EVALUATIONS
We offer a thorough visual inspection, review, and evaluation of any structural concerns you may have, covering walls, columns, floors, and foundation walls. When requested, our services can also include feasibility studies and reinforcement solutions for joists and/or girders, as well as assistance with new additions.
Additionally, we provide an engineering report upon request, carefully documenting all identified structural damage in the home and outlining recommended repairs. Often required for real estate transactions and loans, our engineering reports offer professional guidance, enabling you to make informed decisions about your property.
