Before you spend thousands repairing your foundation, have it evaluated by an independent structural engineer.
Foundation cracks, bowing walls, settlement, uneven floors, water infiltration, and other signs of movement can be concerning. But not every foundation problem requires expensive structural repairs. An independent professional engineering evaluation can help you understand what is actually happening with your home's foundation and whether repairs are truly necessary.
We Evaluate Foundations. We Don't Sell Foundation Repairs.
At Gary J. Miller, we provide independent home foundation inspections and structural engineering evaluations. We do not sell foundation repair products or foundation repair services. Our job is to evaluate the structural condition of your foundation, identify deficiencies and their likely causes, and provide an unbiased professional opinion about whether repairs are needed.
Would you let the person selling the repair be the only person deciding whether you need the repair?
Before signing a foundation repair contract, get an independent professional engineering opinion.
What Does a Home Foundation Inspection Include?
Our foundation structural inspections can evaluate concerns including:

• Foundation cracks
• Bowing or leaning basement walls
• Foundation settlement
• Uneven or sloping floors
• Floor cracks and heaving
• Water infiltration
• Deteriorated or damaged structural components
• Sagging floors or beams
• Cracked or deteriorated floor joists
• Other signs of structural movement or foundation distress

Following the inspection, we can provide a written structural engineering report documenting our findings, photographs, observed deficiencies, potential causes, and professional recommendations.

Independent Engineering Evaluation — We Do Not Sell Foundation Repairs
If you have been told that your home needs thousands of dollars in foundation repairs, don't make a major financial decision based on a repair company's recommendation alone.
An independent structural engineer can provide a second opinion based on the actual structural condition of your home. If repairs are necessary, we can explain what needs to be addressed. If expensive foundation repairs are not warranted, our evaluation can give you the professional documentation and peace of mind you need. Gary J. Miller has performed thousands of basement foundation inspections and provides professional structural engineering evaluations for homeowners throughout the Pittsburgh area.
