Description:
This firm has delivered the following services:
On-site inspection of the foundation and structure.
Determination of the location of the cracks, type, and patterns.
Determination of the level of rot or termite, wood beetles, or carpenter ants’ effects.
Determination of the amount of deformations and deflections to understand the reason for the damage.
Determination of the safety of the staircase, deck, or balcony guardrail.
Determination of the location of the downspouts and their effect on the foundation’s cracks.
Determination of the water heater’s structural strap condition.
Observation of the crawlspace insulations and hot-water pipe insulation.
Evaluation of the eligibility of the house for the CEA insurance discount.
Corrosion damage identification.
Floor level deformation measured by laser, concrete strength by Schmidt Hammer, moisture content, thermal survey, ultrasonic thickness measurement, weld size measurements, angle measurements, out-of-plumb measurements, vibration measurements, crack width measurement by caliper and micrometer, and poke test.
Diagnosing the reason for the damage and cracks through data collection, measurements, and structural analysis.
Delivering the idea of the repair solution and how to remove the cause and reason of the damage.
