No matter the size or complexity of the structure, when it comes to repairing building supports there is no alternative to the skills of a qualified structural engineer.

When foundation repairs may be needed?
Whether you have a suspended concrete slab or slab on grade foundation there are two main reasons they may require repairs: 1) Changes in the surrounding soil or 2) Inadequate design. Below is more detail
- Soil Instability Different types of soil pose unique challenges to building’s structure. Expansive soils, such as those found in the Front Range region, can cause significant swelling and shrinkage, leading to foundation movement and cracks. Collapsible soils, on the other hand, can suddenly compress, causing settlements and structural issues. Even building a foundation on rock has unique challenges.
- Natural Events and Disasters Natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes can exert tremendous forces on structures, potentially compromising their foundations. Our engineers conduct seismic assessments, develop retrofitting designs for earthquake-prone areas, and recommend flood-resistant foundation strategies to enhance structural resilience.
- Environmental Factors Environmental factors such as groundwater fluctuations, frost heave, and erosion can also impact ground stability. Our team evaluates these environmental risks and implements preventive measures such as drainage systems, moisture barriers, and erosion control strategies to protect foundations from moisture-related damage and soil instability.
- Poor Quality Materials Using substandard materials during construction can lead to problems over time. Cracks, settlements, and structural weaknesses may arise due to poor concrete quality, inadequate reinforcement, or improper construction techniques. Our team performs thorough inspections, identifies material-related issues, and devises repair or strengthening plans to rectify deficiencies and ensure long-term durability.
- Inadequate Design Inadequate or flawed designs can result in a range of issues, from insufficient load-bearing capacity to uneven settlements. Our engineers leverage their extensive experience in foundation design to create a robust foundation repair solution that account for site-specific conditions, structural loads, and regulatory requirements. Whether it’s designing new foundations or retrofitting existing ones, we prioritize structural integrity and longevity in our designs.
- Structural Aging and Deterioration Over time, structures can experience aging and deterioration due to wear and tear, chemical reactions, and environmental exposure.

I am so glad I found Steven at Level Engineering. I have an old house on a steep hill with clay soils, a drainage problem, and foundation problems. Several other highly rated engineering firms came and would string me along for weeks before saying they didn’t know. Steven really took the time and brain power to figure it out. He patiently explained the situation and my options and answered all of my questions. He made calls to other specialists for me, worked with my contractor, and answered questions I had months afterwards.

Very professional. Everything was explained well. We were very comfortable with the results of our foundation inspection.

Level saved me thousands. The engineer who came over (Justin Fendley) was so knowledgeable and helpful, explaining everything that came up on a new home inspection report and giving me tips on how to solve it. He took measurements in the house and gave me the tools I needed to understand the shape of the house and little things I could use to keep it up. I was going to get a foundation repair company to follow up on an issue, but it turns out it was just a misunderstanding. I’m sure the foundation company wouldn’t have done me the same favor. Level was awesome at understanding what I needed and getting an engineer out quickly. Can’t recommend enough – if you think you have foundation problems, get an unbiased engineer to check it first.
Justin Cook
Great resource and very knowledgeable in assessing slopping, water, foundation and pointing out other details as you go along. Highly recommend.
Dan Lourenco
Bottom line – when I started this project, I thought I was getting scammed and the cost was ridiculous. Now I see I couldn’t have been more wrong. LEVEL Engineering (and Steven especially) are true professionals. They charge what they are worth and they deserve every penny. Making changes to an existing structure is a process, and I am glad to have had their expertise every step of the way.

I contacted Level through their online form because my house has some foundation cracks and other potential structural problems that have been worrying me for over a year. Clifton was at my house only two days later and provided an inspection/consultation that was far beyond what I expected. I wish I had reached out sooner!
He was very knowledgeable and thorough, and explained everything in a way I could understand. I appreciated that he never tried to sell me on any unnecessary extra services. He even gave me a detailed plan for how I could do a DIY fix for a smaller, unrelated project on my house. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!
