Foundations and Drainage


Foundation crack? Drainage issues? Uneven slab? Collapsing foundation? Wall cracks?

Cracks, bulges, and water concerns can often point to foundation/footing failures. It can be very unsettling to discover there may be trouble with your foundation. Even more frustrating can be ongoing water challenges. StructuralMD will scientifically diagnose your foundation issues, starting with your footings. Many foundations collapse due to ongoing water problems that go undetected. Often there may also be a soil issue contributing to the problem, or perhaps inadequate construction procedures.

There are many types of foundations and there is no “one-size-fits-all” remedy. Our experience with every foundation type assures you that we will correctly identify and solve the problem at hand.

Some cracks may not point to a serious structural failure, so it’s critical to hire an experienced structural engineer who will correctly identify the deficiency and not under or over prescribe a solution.

Water management is a science that is not always adequately addressed by waterproofing contractors, and can be very confusing to homeowners. For example, surface run-off problems are completely different than ground water issues, requiring totally different solutions. Guessing at it is not the right approach, and unfortunately is the common offering you would receive from a “non-engineered solution”. StructuralMD’s approach includes an in-depth review of all the symptoms, a thorough process of analyzing all the possible causes, an identification of the best path of remediation.

Whatever the cause, StructuralMD will uncover the source, recommend a detailed solution, and carry out the work to remediate the problem for you. No issue is too big or too small.
