What does a structural engineer look at in O'Fallon?
Nearly all of O'Fallon has been built since the 1990s, on poured basements in large subdivisions. Questions here are about cracks in fairly young walls, settlement on graded lots, and decks and finished basements added since.
What is different here
- Young foundations. Shrinkage cracks appear early; the ones that widen or leak are the ones to check.
- Graded lots. Subdivisions are cut and filled, and fill settles for years.
- Decks and patios. Common additions, not always built to carry what is on them.
- Selling a newer home. A buyer's inspector flags a crack and the sale waits on an engineer.
