Gregory H. Wilson Engineering

The perimeter of your home is visually inspected for exterior signs of foundation movement. The most common types of movement are differential settlement, tilting or upheaval. Some of the signs are: brick cracks, fascia board separation, brick separation from doors and window casings, deflection in grout lines of brick veneer and fractures in the foundation.

Next we inspect the interior of your home for signs of foundation distress. Some of the signs may be slopes in floors, upheavals, drywall cracks and doors not closing. We use a Stanley complevel or Zip-level to determine if foundation movement is within industry accepted tolerances.

Once the inspection has been completed we can determine if any work is needed. An explanation is given at the time of the inspection of recommended repairs if necessary. The Engneer's report is typically ready the next business day which will include conclusons and recommendations to remedy the foundation problem.

The report can be used to obtain bids from foundation repair companies and to obtain permits if necessary. The size of slab, travel time and other factors will determine the cost of your report. Please feel free to call us anytime if you have any questions.

We now accept most major credit cards. 

We offer next business day Engineer's reports in most cases.

Our report includes:

• Description of  structural defects noted during the inspection

• Conclusions and recommendations to remedy your foundation problem.

• Sketch showing recommended repairs and relative elevation survey.

• Factors effecting the performance of your foundation
