Frequently Asked Questions
What does a structural inspection include?
A structural inspection evaluates the foundation, floor joists, beams, columns, load-bearing walls, roof framing, and connections. The inspector looks for deflection, cracking, rot, insect damage, improper modifications, and code violations. A written report details findings and recommends repairs if needed.
How much does a structural inspection cost in Pennsylvania?
Structural inspections in Pennsylvania cost $400 to $1,000, depending on the property size and complexity. A licensed Professional Engineer's report typically costs $500 to $1,000. Basic structural assessments by a qualified home inspector may be less, but lenders often require a PE-stamped report.
When is a structural inspection needed versus a standard home inspection?
A structural inspection is recommended when a home inspector flags concerns about foundation cracks, sagging floors, bowing walls, or visible framing damage. It's also advisable for homes that have undergone major renovations, additions without permits, or properties built before modern building codes were adopted in Pennsylvania.
Who can perform structural inspections in Pennsylvania?
Licensed Professional Engineers (PE) are the gold standard for structural inspections in Pennsylvania. Some experienced home inspectors also provide structural assessments, but only a PE can provide a stamped engineering report that lenders and municipalities accept. Verify your inspector's PE license through the PA Department of State.
