What We Offer
We provide licensed engineering inspection services including soil testing, structural assessments, and foundation certifications
Level 3 Soil Survey
A Level 3 soil survey is a crucial step in determining if a property is suitable for a septic system. This test helps assess the soil's ability to absorb and filter wastewater, which is vital for septic system performance. A Level 4 soil test, also known as a high-density soil study, is a detailed soil analysis performed when a Level 3 soil test reveals limiting conditions that may affect the suitability of a property for a septic system. Level 4 testing is typically required for properties with shallow bedrock, high water tables, or other factors that may limit the ability of the soil to properly drain wastewater.
Structural letter
A document signed and sealed by a licensed engineer that provides an assessment of the structural integrity of a building or structure. These letters are often required for building permits, special use, insurance claims, or mortgages, and can be used to identify potential structural issues or to verify that a structure meets safety standards.
Foundation Certification
A document signed and sealed by a licensed engineer that provides an assessment of the permanent foundations integrity. These letters are often required for insurance claims or mortgages, and can be used to identify potential structural issues or to verify that the foundation meets safety standards.
