Of these options, Jensen Engineers will be your best choice when selecting an engineer.
If you are uncertain about the condition of your foundation or other structural conditions, you may be able to perform a limited personal evaluation. One or more of the conditions mentioned below may indicate you have a problem which deserves further consideration. Check for masonry cracking along all perimeter walls, looking closely under windows for vertical or diagonal cracks.
If you are concerned about drainage conditions at your property, you may be able to perform a limited personal evaluation. One or more of the conditions mentioned below may indicate you have a problem which deserves further evaluation. To begin this process, examine your property to ensure soils are sloping away from the foundation at all building perimeters.
I've heard foundation repairs aren't permanent, so why not just wait until I sell my property and then make repairs? I've been told to water my foundation and at the same time provide slopes to discharge water away from the building. Isn't this contradictory? My contractor will give me a free estimate.
While foundation movement problems in north Texas can result from many factors, including poor construction procedures, the most common cause is undoubtedly a result of differential soil movement. In north Texas many homes are located on expansive clay soils. These soils respond in a like manner to a sponge, increasing in volume with moisture gains while shrinking with moisture loss.
