Older homes near the Saucon Valley. I help Hellertown homeowners with cracks, bowing walls, and renovation questions.
Hellertown’s got a lot of established older homes down near the Saucon Valley, and the ground around here can be tough on foundations and basement walls over time. Cracks, bowing walls, and damp basements are things I get called about regularly.
I’ll come out, find what’s actually causing it, and tell you how urgent it really is. If a contractor’s pushing a big repair, I’ll tell you honestly whether it fits the problem before you spend the money.
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 Hellertown 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.
Might be, might be overkill. Send me the quote and what you’re seeing and I’ll tell you whether the fix matches the actual problem. That’s a quick way to save real money.
Usually soil and water pressure building up against the outside of the wall. I confirm the cause and design a fix that actually stops the movement.
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.
