North America · Multifamily Residential
ISTA Engineers was retained to evaluate a 1980s-built multi-family residence exhibiting severe drywall cracking and sticking doors. While a contractor recommended an $80,000 foundation replacement, the practice mapped a 2.5-inch floor drop and identified a disconnected gutter saturating the soil. This led to a targeted helical pier design and drainage correction, saving the client $60,000.
