Historic borough homes packed close together. I give Catasauqua homeowners a straight answer on cracks, party walls, and foundations.
Catasauqua’s a small borough with a big history, and the homes show it. Older rowhomes and twins, shared party walls, stone and brick foundations that have been holding up these houses for a very long time. When one neighbor’s wall moves, sometimes the next one feels it.
I’m right up the road in Fullerton, so I can get over quickly. I’ll look at the real conditions, tell you whether that crack or shared wall is a real concern, and lay out what it needs if it does.
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 Catasauqua 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.
Good question, and it depends on what’s moving and why. I’ll figure out the cause first, which is what tells you how to handle it and who it really involves.
Yes, I’m just a few minutes away in Fullerton. Tell me what’s going on and we’ll line up a time fast.
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.
