Description of Work: Perfect experience. Mr. Isbon is a true Professional Engineer. He is not a sales person. He does not install piers or perform foundation work himself. He looks at your foundation, takes measurements everywhere, and delivers a diagram on your foundation. Our foundation is great. Companies that sell foundations always want to sell their work. Mr. Isbon tells the truth. Isbon Engineering is the BEST! Thank you Mr. Isbon!

Description of Work: Had foundation movement. He came out very prompt in evaluation. Needed a root barrier for a tree that was very close to the house. Suggested water drip system to maintain moisture level of house. Suggested better guttering to entire house. suggested installing drainage to keep water from standing on the side of the house that has foundation movement. Fair and unbiased evaluation.

We could not have been more satisfied with our experience with Isbon Engineering. Our appointment was scheduled quickly (within a few days) and Mr. Isbon conducted a thorough and professional inspection. He also provided considerable and educational feedback regarding foundation issues and emailed the written report to us within one day of completing the inspection. Overall, it was an excellent job and we would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Inspected our new townhome to determine whether or not it had a serious foundation issue due to a crack in the garage that had extended into the foyer and broken marble tiles.

Mr. Isbon came out within 2 days checked the supports I wanted to remove or adjust. Checked a bathroom wall to see if it was a supporting wall. He checked both attics, the basement, bathroom and closets. He agreed with my plans for remodeling, he discussed why the extra supports were added and their purpose. He took his time and wanted to be sure he answered all of our question. He didn't try to sell us anything or cause us alarm. His inspection was thorough. Now we can plaster and seal the walls without concern for covering up what might have been necessary repairs. I thought I was right, but it was a great relief to know a professional reviewed all my plans and ideas and agreed with the plans to move forward. He even offered to come back free of charge to review the final work. And he's a nice guy.
Description of Work: I wanted to remove some supports in my basement. Exterior walls had water damage which was allowing water to run into the basement. Some of the wall support had eroded. House was shifting and some doors had trouble opening or closing.

Everything went well, David was very focused on work and noticed things that we wouldn't.
Description of Work: We just moved to Texas from up North and wanted to make sure that there are no structural issues with the 20 year old house that we were buying (we are not used to the DFW type of soil and issues related to that). David did a structural report an gave us a clean bill of health for the house.

Everything went very well. Mr. Isbon provided a comprehensive evaluation and gave us some great recommendations, including web sites that offer the type of solution he thinks will work best for us. I was glad I called him before calling a foundation repair contractor. Mr. Isbon quoted a very competitive price for his services compared to some Engineers we researched several years ago.
Description of Work: David Isbon inspected our house for drainage issues and to see if foundation repairs were necessary. His deliverables to us were a Structural Engineering Report and an Elevation Diagram. Both were e-mailed to us as Adobe Acrobat files the day after his inspection.

David arrived on time, explained the inspection process, including what to expect upon completion. Due to an existing sump pump/plumbing issue, David was unable to complete inspection of the pier and beam foundation (water standing underneath the house). David recommended I contact a plumber to correct the issue(s) and stated that once the repairs were done and the area under the house was dry, he would return to complete the foundation inspection. An extremely knowledgeable and personable individual, I highly recommend having David inspect your home and foundation prior to calling any company for potentially major or costly repairs. I believe his inspection and report will more than pay for itself when I discuss required repairs with individual contractors.
Description of Work: They inspected the pier and beam foundation, tested the sprinkler system, and inspected the home for major structural problems.

Another engineer had reported on our house and confirmed to our homeowners warranty company that our claim was permissible. But he didn't offer any firm recommendations. So we had to bring in another engineer to come up with the recommendations. Angie's List supplied 4 engineering recommendations. I called David Isbon because he was the only one with a website. He has a detailed website with his pricing, how he works, and a bit about foundation problems. (Tip to other engineers - get a website!) David was able to schedule me quickly, came out promptly and supplied a good, detailed report specifying exactly what we need to do. He has been a real pleasure to work with as well.
Description of Work: Performed an engineering evaluation of our foundation.
