𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹 – 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀
A homeowner renovating a 1970s bungalow sought expert advice on repairing cracked and displaced bricks. Our Structural Engineer’s report identified footing settlement and rotation as the cause. We recommended several procedures to stabilize the footings and provided practical, affordable methods to repair the damaged bricks.

𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 – 𝗢𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀
This house was on the market with evidence of old subsidence and repaired cracks. Our engineer’s investigation revealed that loose material in the footing bases caused settlement when the builders poured the concrete. To complicate matters, subsequent seepage softened the founding material, causing further settlement. We resolved the seepage problem and stabilized the footings, making the house “sound-as-a-pound.”

𝗠𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗯𝘆 – 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀
We discovered that concretors damaged the post galvanizing during construction and failed to “tank” the post bases. While cleaning and treating the bases will prolong the life of some posts, the owner will need to replace the posts in the future.

𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱 – 𝗚𝗮𝗽𝘀 & 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀
This house suffered from serious gaps and cracks. We found that the house slab had severe, progressing deflections. The property requires significant underpinning to stabilize the structure before we can properly repair it.

We inspected this house for a buyer and found that a small section of the slab edge beam concrete had broken away, exposing the edge reinforcement. Our investigation confirmed the damage was localized and the slab showed no significant deflections in this area. Our structural engineer’s report recommended simple, cost-effective grout repairs.
