Foundation Repairs

At Engineering Local Xperts, we specialize in providing expert foundation repair solutions for both new and existing structures. Our licensed structural engineers bring extensive experience and a deep understanding of local soil conditions—an essential factor in ensuring the long-term stability and safety of your home or building.

A solid foundation is the backbone of any structurally sound structure. Whether you're facing settlement, cracking, moisture intrusion, or visible shifting, our team is equipped to assess the root cause and develop the most effective, tailored repair solutions for your specific situation and location.

​

It’s critical to begin any foundation repair process with an evaluation from a licensed structural engineer. We offer independent, objective assessments based solely on the actual needs of your structure. The cost of hiring a licensed engineer is a small investment—especially when compared to the potential thousands (or more) in costly, unnecessary, or ineffective repairs that could result without proper guidance.

When the time for repairs comes, we’re proud to recommend reputable, proven foundation repair companies that we trust to carry out the work to the highest standards—ensuring continuity and peace of mind from diagnosis through completion.

​

At ELX, we are committed to delivering honest, efficient, and cost-effective foundation repair plans that protect your investment and your safety.

Our Foundation Repair Process

​

At Engineering Local Xperts, we believe in a clear, professional, and unbiased approach to foundation repair. Here’s what you can expect when working with our team:

​

  1. Initial Assessment by a Licensed Structural Engineer
    One of our licensed structural engineers will visit the property to perform a thorough, unbiased evaluation of the foundation and related structural elements.

  2. Written Evaluation Report
    Following the site visit, we provide a detailed written report that includes the engineer’s professional observations, findings, and tailored repair recommendations based on the specific conditions of your structure.

  3. Proposal for Structural Repair Plans
    If repair plans are needed, we will develop a proposal outlining the scope of work, associated fees, and estimated turnaround time for producing the stamped repair plans.

  4. Permitting and Contractor Selection
    Once the repair plans are complete, the client (or their contractor) will submit them to the local building department for permitting. The client then hires a qualified repair contractor to perform the work.

  5. Construction Observations & Final Inspections
    During and/or after the repair work, our licensed engineer returns to the site to observe the work and confirm it has been completed in accordance with the approved plans. We ensure repairs are done accurately and safely to preserve the structural integrity of your property.

I called ELX, and Carlos came out the very next day to perform a foundation inspection—and I’m so glad he did. I was about to purchase a home with serious underlying structural issues that would have cost over $100,000 to repair. Carlos was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. His expertise saved me from making a costly mistake. I highly recommend ELX for anyone needing honest, professional structural evaluations.
