We recently completed a framing and foundation inspection for a residential property in Atlanta, GA 30345 (DeKalb County).
Key findings:

Out-of-level floors and ceiling joists sloping toward the central hallway
Floor joists sloping toward central piers with several piers out of plumb
Excessive perimeter moisture and significant soil cracks (>1 inch) near HVAC

Conclusion: Foundation settlement likely due to moisture intrusion. Piers need resetting or replacement with temporary shoring of floor framing.
Structural repair solutions and construction drawings were offered to the owner/contractor to address these issues professionally.

At our recent inspection at 1794 Gray Gables Way in Buford, GA (Gwinnett County), we identified significant foundation settlement. The first floor was out of level by up to 5.75 inches, with corresponding issues in upper floors and attic joists. Poor gutter/downspout maintenance allowed water to erode supporting soils, causing long-term differential settlement.

We performed a detailed floor survey with contour mapping, developed a custom foundation jack lift plan, and proposed two reliable repair options: steel helical piles or reinforced concrete piers (12" diameter min., with perimeter grade beam). A cost analysis will guide the best choice for lasting stability.
