Structural Repair

Structural damage refers to any compromise to the core framework of a home, such as foundation cracks, sagging or uneven floors, damaged support beams, roof issues, or compromised load-bearing walls. This can be caused by natural wear and tear, soil movement, water damage, or poor construction.

Coverage depends on your homeowner's insurance policy and the cause of the damage. For example, damage caused by flooding or earthquakes may not be covered unless you have specific policies for these events. Always consult with your insurance provider for details.

Our inspection is free, and we'll give you all the details you'll need to determine your insurance coverage.

Some of the most common repairs include:

• Foundation leveling or reinforcement

• Beam and joist replacement

• Repairing wall cracks or reinforcing load-bearing walls

• Waterproofing basements and crawl spaces

The timeline varies based on the severity of the damage. Minor repairs may take a few hours, while extensive foundation work or beam replacement can take a week or 2. A professional evaluation will provide a more accurate estimate.

In many cases, you can remain in your home during repairs. However, for significant work such as foundation lifting or load-bearing wall reconstruction, temporary relocation might be necessary for safety.

Look for a contractor with:

• Proper licensing and insurance

• Good reviews and references

• Experience in structural repair work

• Detailed, transparent estimates and contracts

• Engineered Design, Plans and Permits, and Licences, Bonded, and Insured contractors are the best way to more forward.
