Common questions
Can you write the letter without visiting?
No. An engineer's seal means the engineer is responsible for what the letter says, so the item is inspected first.
What if it does not pass?
The letter says what is wrong and what correction is needed. Once the work is corrected, it can be re-inspected.
Is the letter good in Illinois?
The engineer is licensed in both Missouri and Illinois, and seals the letter for the state the property is in.
