Strong, uncompromised foundations are the cornerstone - quite literally - of a sound structure. If overlooked in a standard inspection, unrecognized structural deficits in a building's foundation can result in catastrophic structural failures that can be costly to repair and dangerous to occupants and visitors.
The engineers of Precision Structural Engineering are trained and experienced in foundation inspection, and are able to identify subtle signs of structural degradation and damage that may not be readily apparent. Our inspectors are trained to note the nature, locations and severity of foundation cracks, as well as how to identify hard-to-spot evidence of historic building movement and other environmental conditions that may be contributing to the damage.

With a PSE foundation inspection, clients can count on a thorough site examination and any follow-up evaluations necessary to ascertain the nature and extent of foundation damage. Rather than simply observe and note visible cracks, PSE with a geotechnical sub-consultant also investigates other site factors that contribute to a compromised foundation, such as soil composition, slope and water runoff. We can recommend a design, as well as plan and estimate costs on restoration, including site excavation, engineering, materials, soil boring, reconstruction and oversight. By taking into account the factors that contributed to the damage in the first place, we can help you better plan for a stronger, more stable foundation restoration.
Our inspectors are specially trained to recognize the foundation crack patterns that represent evidence of seismic damage in order to provide an accurate assessment. If the damage to a foundation is the result of seismic activity, we can assist you in restorations as well as in designing seismic upgrades to protect the future integrity of the foundation and the structure in its entirety.
