Introduction
Selling a home is an exciting process. However, it can quickly become stressful when a home inspection report raises structural concerns. Issues like foundation cracks, sagging floors, or framing problems can cause hesitation for buyers and even delay a sale.
At EVstudio, we specialize in structural evaluations and solutions for homeowners facing these challenges. If your inspection report recommends a structural engineer, here’s what we think you should to do next.
Review Your Inspection Report
Carefully re-examine your report for structural concerns, such as:
- Foundation cracks (horizontal, diagonal, etc…)
- Uneven or sagging floors
- Doors or windows not operating properly
- Interior drywall cracks
- Water intrusion or moisture damage
If the report suggests consulting a structural engineer, taking immediate action will help streamline the process.
