We guide you through fixing foundation problems & crawlspace issues, making sure everything is done right.

We are building envelope consultants specializing in leaks, foundation cracks, and crawlspace issues in multifamily homes, condos, and commercial buildings—problems often caused by improper construction or building defects. Tired of contractors who offer quick fixes or slap on caulk and call it good? Get expert guidance and lasting solutions instead.

Are you overwhelmed by foundation cracks, crawlspace issues, or hidden structural damage? We can help!

As engineers and project managers, we provide independent guidance to identify the source of the problem, design a lasting repair, and oversee contractors to ensure it’s done right this time. Don’t let hidden damage or confusing construction claims make your building unsafe or unsellable. With 18 years of experience, we’ve helped hundreds of Boards protect their buildings and increase property values.

Structural Solutions & Inspections in Action

Check out some of the projects we've worked on before

Pile-Install

The photos above show how connectors are installed to secure the piles to the "toe" of the retaining wall footing, along with on-site testing to make sure the piles can handle the required load. Testing below-grade piles, whether helical or not, is always important to confirm they can safely support the expected weight.
