DAILY STRUCTURAL ENGINEER REPORTS.

A Typical Day for Forensic Engineers.

A Pimpama house with seriously defective & damaged stumps.

We found this house required massive repair building. The owner was planning renovations and wanted to make sure the sub-floor was stable and strong. But oh-my-goodness! We found considerable defective construction & deterioration of elements. The renovations would not be a good investment unless the problems under the floor were significantly upgraded.

A Deebing Heights house with suspicious masonry joint gap

Ground movements had occurred and were ongoing. We found the house could be stabilized without underpinning. A Great Result!

A Coomera house with the slab edge beam exposed

Subsidence had occurred, but there were no slab deflections. A Brilliant Result.

A Collingwood Park house with massive slab deflections.

Massive underpinning & lifting would be required. Unlikely that it would be practical. There are some cases where underpinning houses with this much movements, can achieve a reasonable result. But in most cases the house frame and sheeting and cabinetry will not tolerate the stresses and severe damages result. In some cases the founding clay soils adhere to the footings and the footings do not want to lift.

Specializing in house subsidence issues; our Expert Structural Engineer Reports determine the extent of damages, causes & repair methods.
