"Just had ours put in, and it looks great. Our installation team ( Lenny, Terrence, and Manny ) were on time, friendly, hard working and meticulous. Lenny took time to explain things when I popped down and was very patient with questions while working incredibly hard. We have friends who literally live in a swamp who had Busy Dog a couple years ago and their system has worked perfectly. They were getting water in their basement several times a year-- now NOTHING. And I love the technology innovations by this company, the quality of the materials is top notch. Salesman Mike worked with us to set up the construction, he and their engineer came out several times to make sure they understood our tricky set up and worked to get the timing right for timing that worked for us"

Full-service disaster restoration firm handling losses from water, fire & soot, wind, storm, or mold damage from the emergency service stage through the construction phase. We have our own mitigation crews and drying equipment as well as our own storage, ultrasonic content cleaning, electronic cleaning and laundry centers.
"After a significant water loss from a leaking hot water pipe, Clean Care was dispatched to our home by our insurance carrier. One person just showed up without any notice contradicting how we were told the process would work. He came in and surveyed the damage that was primarily in the crawl space. He then presented my wife (who is an attorney) with multiple contractual documents stating that Clean Care would have direct and sole authority to perform not only remediation work that we needed but rights to the needed renovation work to return the property to original condition. They also tried to require that any funds distributed by our insurance carrier immediately be surrendered to them. Another required document by them claimed sole power of attorney over all matters regarding the loss and authorization to have direct contact and receive any information from our carrier and mortgage company. The company representative then became angry and aggressive towards my wife when she wouldn’t sign for anything other than the remediation work, telling her that the forms were just industry standard. Make of that what you will but I’ve been a trades professional for 30 years and this is what low quality outfits do to ensure profits from people that don’t know better. I’d stay as far away from them as possible."

Structural engineering services FAQs
No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.
Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.
The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:
Do you have experience working in my specific area?
Do you have professional indemnity insurance?
What will your structural report cover?
Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?
How long have you been in business?
Do you have a list of customer references?
Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.
Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
