COMMON CONCRETE QUALITY CONTROL PROBLEMS
Don't let these costly and time-consuming problems hold you up from completing your project on time or require unnecessary removal of concrete.  I will thoroughly investigate each situation and provide a Professional Engineer certified report complete with analysis, conclusions and recommendations for correcting the problems.

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS
These failing retaining walls will need to be replaced or repaired soon.  I will investigate foundation and retaining wall problems, determine the causes of failure and provide certified engineering reports describing the complete investigation, analysis, conclusions and recommendations for correcting all structural deficiencies.

CONCRETE QC TESTING
The investigation of residential and commercial structural problems usually requires core sampling and/or Windsor Probes to determine the strength of the concrete.  I am prepared to perform the Windsor Probe testing and have contracted with local WASEL approved materials testing laboratories to conduct core drilling and compressive tests.  All testing will be done promptly and certified engineering reports furnished to my clients usually within 72 hours.

Sooner, if needed.
