Obviously when I am going to recommend further evaluation of this foundation by a Structural engineer. I’ve never seen what their rates are like. Any general ideas what SE’s charge for these types of evaluations?
This is a 1926 built home, on a moderate slope, similar cracks in retaining wall in the yard on this same side of the home. At least 2 significant cracks similar in size.
As far as SE fees they’ll be all over the place just like an inspectors.
I have a really good SE I’ve been working with for years.
He’ll come to a property and do a “walk and talk” for a few hundred or less
If stamped drawings or specs are necessary that’s a different matter.
