Engineer’s Foundation Evaluation

The purpose of an Engineer’s Foundation Evaluation is to have a licensed engineer review the information collected from the property and determine, to the extent possible, the foundation’s current condition and whether any repairs may be needed now or in the future. We understand that foundation concerns can feel overwhelming for property owners, which is why our evaluations focus on providing clear, straightforward insights.

This means you can deliver trusted guidance backed by licensed expertise—helping your clients feel confident about their next steps, whether that’s addressing immediate issues or simply keeping an eye on the foundation over time.

Why It Matters

Foundation concerns often create uncertainty for homeowners. By offering a licensed engineer’s evaluation, you give them reliable answers and peace of mind. Delivering this kind of clarity not only helps clients move forward confidently but also strengthens your reputation and sets your business apart in a competitive market.

The evaluation generally includes:

• Documenting visual observations made during a physical walkthrough

• Observing factors influencing the performance of the foundation

• Conducting an interview of occupants/owners/managers regarding a history of the property and foundation

• Reviewing pertinent information including Geotech reports, construction drawings, field reports, and repair docs

• Providing elevation, deflection, and tilt calculations to assess foundation performance and establish a baseline

• Providing a detailed conclusion and Executive Summary.
