Storm Assessments
After experiencing a hurricane, high winds, or flooding, conducting a structural assessment is essential to ensure your property’s safety and soundness. Our team of licensed engineers and experienced inspectors thoroughly evaluates your property to detect and document any storm- related damage. We inspect all major structural elements, including the foundation, framing, roofing, exterior walls, and the building envelope as a whole.
During our assessment, we look for signs of issues that could compromise your home’s stability, such as:
Cracks
Settling
Warped framing
Shifting or displaced components
Moisture
Mold growth
Water Intrusion
Missing or damaged roofing materials
We also assess fasteners, connectors, and other critical attachments to confirm they are intact and compliant with current building codes. Areas prone to less visible damage, such as crawl spaces, attics, and behind walls—especially where water infiltration is possible—receive special attention.
Insurance Claims
We provide detailed documentation of all identified damage, including high-quality photographs, written reports, and expert recommendations for necessary repairs or further evaluation.
Insurance providers often require this level of detail to accurately determine the extent of damage and process your claim efficiently. By arranging a professional assessment soon after a storm, you can help expedite your insurance process, ensure all damage is properly recorded, and increase your potential reimbursement for repairs.
Foundation Assessments and Inspections for Cracks, Settlement, or Shifting
A strong foundation is essential for the safety, stability, and long-term value of any building. If you notice cracks, settling, or movement in your home or commercial property’s foundation, it’s important to address these issues promptly by consulting qualified professionals.
Our licensed engineers utilize the latest methods and industry best practices to inspect for visible indicators of distress, such as cracks in floors or walls, uneven settling, and noticeable shifting of the structure.
Our detailed reports clearly explain the extent of any problems, provide recommendations for repairs, and ensure that your property complies with all relevant building codes.
By choosing our team, you benefit from our deep understanding of the specific challenges presented by local soil types, flood risks, and high winds. We are known for our prompt responsiveness, dependable service, and open communication throughout the inspection process.
