Qualified engineers in San Antonio offer advice on the proper investigation level to allow evaluation objectives to be fulfilled. Initially the Engineer meets the client to discuss the property background and performance. The Engineer will review past, related documents for the structure including Geo technical reports, construction drawings; and previous repair, testing and inspection reports. He/she will be able to carry out physical observations of the foundation to establish the factors behind the present situation. At this stage, the client could request the Engineer to provide a report on the scope of services, vital observations and the foundation discussions.

If the surrounding soil on the base has sunk or shifted, the foundation will no longer have adequate support and will crack or relocate. The assessment by an engineer is crucial as it establishes exactly where the problem is, and he/she could proceed to offer recommendations for further investigation and preventative or remedial measures.

In the next level, the engineer will submit a report on the clients previous requested details. At this level, the professional establishes relative foundation heights and takes floor finishes into consideration in adequate detail to represent floor or foundation shapes sufficiently. A technical drawing demonstrating the relative elevations will also be produced at this stage. Once the problem has been properly assessed and corrective measures established, the foundation can be supported with new underpinning to the original elevations.
