Licensed Professional Engineers serving Austin and the Central Texas region — providing independent engineering to determine whether a neighbor or adjacent work caused damage to your property. with court-ready, PE-stamped reports.
When cracks, flooding, or movement appear after a neighbor's construction, excavation, regrading, pool installation, or drainage change, Austin homeowners and property owners need an independent answer to one question: what actually caused the damage? Our TX-licensed Professional Engineers investigate the cause, separate new damage from pre-existing conditions, and deliver a PE-stamped report you can use with your neighbor, an HOA, an insurance carrier, or in court.
