FORENSIC INSPECTIONS
Forensic Structural Inspections of existing building or other structures are used to identify structural damage or to help resolve a structural performance issue. For instance an owner with a foundation problem may want an independent professional opinion in the form of an engineer stamped report when deciding on if to repair a foundation, or on what type of foundation repair should be done. Or the problem may be an upper floor area that has an excessive sag, bounce, or shaking movement. An engineer stamped certification statement may be required for insurance purposes before repair construction or renovation can proceed.
