A structural inspection is typically a visual inspection performed by a structural engineer to confirm the structural soundness of a home or building’s load bearing components such as the foundation, joists, beams, trusses, or columns/posts. It is performed when a property owner has questions about the structural integrity of a building or structure. This could entail an analysis of the whole structure or an examination of one specific component of the building.
