Try him first. He worked with us for a little over a year before deciding to join his dad. We still have a great relationship with him and send him overflow jobs regularly.

If he can't get to it I think he would likely refer you to us. We have a home inspector that we contract with that will inspect your house and give us a report so we could give you a recommendation. Of course, this also depends on our availability.

Thanks everyone.

theres no downside to a visual inspection by a PE, but i would caution you that that will be all it is...a visual. if you have the original construction drawings for the foundation, that will be extremely helpful and will undoubtedly be the first question the PE asks.

i'm not sure why you are discounting an inspection by a foundation repair contractor, because that is what they do AND they can offer solutions. finally, you will be paying for the PE to produce a report, while most of the time the repair contractor will give you a free inspection and repair estimate.

put simply...if your foundation is slipping/heaving/cracking etc, you already know you have a problem and the solution will be to...engage a foundation repair contractor

I used Davie Shoring to buck up and secure the foundation under an addition at my house they did a good job and fixed the problem

9/10 the problem is a base failure and not a structural concrete failure

Do you mind telling me the ballpark cost on that?
