Slate-industry rowhomes and older homes. I help Bangor owners with cracks, foundations, and basement concerns.
Bangor grew up around the slate industry, and a lot of its homes are sturdy older rowhomes and twins built for the workers. Good construction, but decades of settling and a few damp basements come with the age.
I’ll come out, find what’s actually causing the problem, and tell you how urgent it really is. You get an honest plan, not a sales pitch.
Whatever you are building or worried about, you get a clear answer and drawings that pass the first time.
Cracks, sagging floors, or foundation worries inspected and explained, with a clear fix.
Find out what can come out, with a stamped beam design that carries the load safely.
Engineered, code-compliant plans your contractor can build and your township will permit.
Conformance letters and reports for permits and real estate deadlines, turned around fast.
I come to your Bangor property and look at the real conditions.
I find the cause and tell you how serious it is, in plain language.
You get a repair plan or signed, permit-ready drawings.
Usually soil and water pressure pushing on the wall over time. It tends to get worse, so it’s worth handling. I’ll confirm the cause and design a fix that stops it.
Bangor’s in my range, about 30 minutes. If you’re further into the Slate Belt, just ask.
An engineer tells you what is actually wrong and what the right fix is, then your contractor does the work. Getting the engineer first means you do not pay for the wrong repair, and for structural work most townships require stamped drawings from an engineer anyway.
It depends on the job. A quick assessment is on the low end and full stamped drawings cost more. Either way you get a clear price up front before any work starts.
Tell me what is going on. I will get right back to you, usually the same day.
