How the work actually gets done
No two jobs are identical, but done properly the work follows the same broad sequence:
- Discuss the reported symptoms, the home's construction and age, previous foundation work, and the purpose of the evaluation.
- Inspect accessible interior areas for sloping floors, cracks, sticking doors or windows, and basement or crawlspace conditions.
- Examine the exterior foundation for cracking, bulging, or leaning, and check site grading, drainage, and signs of erosion.
- Measure relevant floor levels and cracks, and document observed conditions with photographs and field notes.
- For a proposed wall opening, confirm whether the wall carries load, trace the load path above and below it, and measure spans and framing.
- Calculate applicable dead, live, snow, and point loads and determine the tributary area carried by the proposed beam.
