Sometimes an inspection uncovers a concern — a foundation crack, a sagging floor, or signs of settlement — that calls for more than a visual assessment. In these cases, ASIST, partnered with AAA Environmental Solutions, can help coordinate a structural engineer report, giving you a licensed professional engineer’s opinion on the severity of the issue and what (if anything) needs to be done about it.
Why Choose ASIST
- We know when a concern warrants engineering-level review, not just a repair estimate
- Streamlined coordination so you're not left to find a qualified engineer on your own
- Reports that give buyers, sellers, and agents clear, defensible answers
- Keeps your transaction moving instead of stalling on an unresolved concern
What's Included:
- Coordination with a licensed structural engineer based on your inspection findings
- On-site evaluation of the specific structural concern

Frequently Asked Questions:
When is a structural engineer report needed?
It’s typically recommended when an inspection reveals signs of foundation movement, significant cracking, sagging framing, or other concerns beyond a routine visual inspection.
Is a structural engineer report the same as a home inspection?
No. A home inspection is a broad visual assessment of the whole property; a structural engineer report is a focused, licensed engineering evaluation of a specific structural concern.
Who typically requests these reports?
Buyers wanting clarity on a specific defect, sellers responding to a buyer’s inspection findings, and lenders or agents needing documentation to move a transaction forward.
How long does it take to get a report?
Timing depends on the engineer’s schedule and the complexity of the issue — we’ll help set expectations once a concern is identified and coordination begins.
