Regardless of where your building is or how new or old it is, it won’t last very long if it isn’t built on a solid foundation. The foundation is what your home stands on and any foundation can be susceptible to cracks and damages due to a variety of reasons including wear and tear and imperfect soil conditions.
Fortunately, structural engineers know how to evaluate foundations and prepare engineering plans to repair and strengthen them economically. Whether you are looking to buy a new home and want an evaluation of the foundation, or you’re concerned about cracks, settling or sloping in your existing home, LVSC’s engineers can come onsite for an evaluation and prepare your foundation plans so that you can get your building permits and proceed with a foundation contractor.
