Overview
Structural & Foundation Inspections Services in New London, CT
A structural inspection is a licensed Professional Engineer's on-site assessment of a building's structural condition, identifying defects, distress, safety concerns, and needed repairs. In Connecticut, our structural and foundation inspections serve homeowners, buyers, sellers, real estate agents, attorneys, insurance adjusters, and property managers. We evaluate foundations, framing, load-bearing walls, retaining walls, decks, and other structural elements for signs of settlement, cracking, water damage, deterioration, and code compliance. Every inspection concludes with a stamped, sealed engineering report documenting our findings, conclusions, and recommendations—accepted by building departments, lenders, courts, and insurance carriers throughout Connecticut.

Code Compliance
Codes & Standards We Follow
Our inspections evaluate structures against the Connecticut State Building Code (CSBC), including the IRC and IBC. We reference ACI 318 for concrete foundation evaluation, the NDS for wood framing assessment, and ASCE 7 for load verification. Foundation inspections address Connecticut's 42-inch frost depth requirement, proper drainage and waterproofing, and soil bearing capacity. For properties in FEMA flood zones, we also evaluate compliance with flood-resistant construction requirements, including elevated foundations, breakaway walls, and flood-damage-resistant materials below the Base Flood Elevation (BFE).
