Walz Engineering | Roofing Services in Shelby Township, MI 48315

In our Michigan climate, common signs include cracks in basement walls or floors, doors and windows that stick or won't close properly, and uneven or sloping floors. These issues can be exacerbated by the soil's expansion and contraction with seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Walz Engineering provides detailed assessments to determine the exact cause and recommends targeted repairs to stabilize your home's foundation.

Absolutely. Spring snow melt is a frequent cause of leaks in our area, often revealing pre-existing issues like compromised shingles, failed flashing, or roof deck rot from trapped moisture. We don't perform the roofing work itself, but our structural analysis is critical. We assess the extent of water damage to the roof's supporting structure (rafters, trusses, decking) to ensure any repair plan addresses both the leak and any hidden structural weakness, preventing future problems.

While contractors execute repairs, a structural engineer like Walz Engineering diagnoses the root cause. Our over 45 years of combined experience allows us to determine *why* the foundation is failing and design a customized, code-compliant solution. This ensures the repair addresses the specific soil conditions and structural loads of your property, providing a long-term fix and often preventing unnecessary or ineffective work.
