What does a structural engineer look at in Webster Groves?
Webster Groves is known for its century homes: large frame and brick houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Buyers and owners call an engineer about old foundations, long-span floors that have settled, and porches and additions.
What is different here
- Century homes. Big frame houses whose floors and beams have crept over a hundred years.
- Stone and early concrete foundations. Different materials from modern basements, and different failures.
- Porches. Wide front porches on old piers are a frequent source of movement.
- Buyers on a deadline. Home inspections here often end with "have a structural engineer look at this".
