Went very well. The gentleman came out promptly an very professional. He surveyed the areas we were most concerned with first. Secondly he did a complete home inspection from top to bottom as well as our craw space for any structural issues. After all was completed he gave us an assessment and ideas on what we could do ourselves to correct any problems that are very cost-efficient. Could speak highly of this gentleman all day long in conclusion very honest person very genuine very confident in his job an I as the home owner am very happy of his inspection.

He was 50 minutes late resulting in my fiancé being late to work. We hired him to tell us the best way to repair a foundation crack .He recommended that we fix the crack from both the inside and outside with epoxy injection. First off, to fix from the outside would require us to remove some of the deck and also the concrete slab undneath it with an exterior french drain would cost us 20k. I asked why we couldn't go from the inside and use an interior drain as we got quoted 5k. His response was "they don't work. They clog". Well yes, an outside french drain will too eventually and the next basement contractor said he can leave the cap visible so we have access. He also said they don't use epoxy anymore and use urethane as it is proven to be the superior method which I did look up online and he is correct. So this "structural engineer" was 50 minutes late and couldn't give a good reason why we shouldn't go with an interior fix and it cost us 290 dollars without a report and he was useless!!! Stay away!!!!

Response from Kiro Engineering LLC
Thank you for your review. We are sorry you didn't like our service. We informed you three hours in advance that we will be late. We explained the three options for assessment that we have, including the verbal assessment without a report that you did choose. We are not Contractors and we are not trying to sell a product for you, so we told you the best engineering solution regardless of the price. We explained in detail why an interior drain you suggested under the basement slab won't work as the crack you have is a stress crack. You need to release the pressure behind the walls. We don't recommend digging under the slab next to the walls to protect the foundations from soil heaving, based on the geologic profile in your area, which can cause more damage to the walls. We did recommend another solution for an interior surface drain that you didn't like. We mentioned that you need to use epoxy to seal the crack, in addition to the carbon fiber straps. No need for polyurethane as we are using carbon fiber straps, in addition, that the polyurethane for concrete applications is much more expensive. We are not responsible that the Contractor is trying to offer something you don't really need, and it will cost more. We understand we didn't have the good news you were expecting from us. You don't like the solution we provided. Our job and our credentials to tell you the truth and the right solution, not to support your Contractor's opinion, or the solution you prefer versus your partner's opinion. Our engineering opinion is based on our credentials, past experience, and the assessment of the crack condition you have; in addition to the geologic profile and ground seepage condition in your area. We are not Contractors, and we are not trying to sell you another solution. You choose the option not to have a report. We are sorry that you didn't like our service.

Kiro came to our home only a few days after the initial call to set up an appointment. He was very polite, thorough, and spent time going through everything and making sure I understood exactly what was going on and what needed to be done. He seemed very honest and told us the most cost effective way to fix our problem and put our minds at ease. I would hire again and would recommend him.

Mina performed a geotech and structural assessment of a residential property that I was planning to purchase. Mina made himself available on short notice to perform the assessment. He was on time, well prepared and possessed the knowledge/expertise necessary for the services. He was professional and provided me with the necessary information I needed to make an informed decision on the property. It was a pleasure meeting Mina and I'm glad I decided to hire him for the assessment.
