Foundation Inspection — PE-Stamped Plans | Texas Engineers

Our foundation inspections are performed by licensed Professional Engineers — not contractors trying to sell you a repair system. We evaluate the foundation type, document distress patterns (cracks, settlement, heaving), measure floor elevation, identify the root cause, and provide an independent engineering report with recommendations.

Whether you're buying a home, selling a home with foundation issues, or concerned about cracks you've noticed, our PE-stamped inspection report gives you the facts and a path forward.

Building a new home or commercial building in Texas? We design foundation systems engineered for your specific soil conditions. In expansive clay areas, this often means post-tensioned slabs or pier-and-beam foundations with proper depth and drainage. Our PE-stamped foundation plans are accepted by building departments statewide.

We also design foundation systems for additions — ensuring the new foundation integrates properly with the existing structure and soil conditions.

Texas expansive clay soils are the #1 cause of foundation problems statewide. When clay gets wet it expands, pushing up on foundations. When it dries it shrinks, pulling away and leaving voids. This cycle causes the cracking, settling, and movement seen in homes across Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and everywhere in between.

Signs of foundation problems include: cracks in walls or ceilings, doors and windows that stick, uneven or sloping floors, cracks in brick or stucco exterior, and gaps around windows or doors. If you notice any of these, a professional foundation inspection can determine if there's a real problem and what to do about it.
