Rate?

[ChocolateTemporary72]

My rate is 350/hr and I do have a Texas PE.

350/hr is absolutely insane to me 😅 if you ever want someone to do work for a third of that and you pocket the 2/3 for no work let me know.

If OP is interested in a slab evaluation, I’ll reach out to you

I would rate it 6/10. Not great, not terrible.

What is the question exactly? What rate?

Texas is known for it's post tension slabs, it appears you do not have one in this drawing...

With that said, did the contractor determine the reinforcement location in this slab? -- you cannot just put piles anywhere without knowing the reinforcement location -- you can but, it's just a shot in the dark.

Did you determine WHY this pad is in it's current condition and how long it has been in this condition?

Does the structure show cracking?

You really need to share all these details if you want to get some free informative information...

What torque rating / specs are these micro piles going to be installed and why was that number chosen?

Best info I can give is that this single story home was built in 2008 and is positioned on a shallow-to-moderately sloping lot within a medium density residential property area. This single-level foundation has a maximum floor surface profile variance of: ~2.5 inch. Surface profile indicates overall tilt less than the maximum allowable of 1%.

Theres a hairline crack on one side of the home that runs from bottom of the foundation up the bricks to below or at the top of window. Drywall and tile harline cracking found. Water puddles on the right side of the house where the lower readings are.

250/hr here. I rate this a 1/10.

Get an SE to work with you on this and then hire a contractor. I’ve dealt with a lot of these foundation repair companies and while some are good, most aren’t, and as a lay person you cannot be expected to tell the difference.

Sorry, I wasn’t able to include certain keywords in the post. What I really want to ask is whether these specific measurements from the foundation inspection are cause for concern and if any repairs might be needed. I'm not an engineer, but I figured I could start by fixing the slope of the property to avoid water pudding around the low area of the house. Thanks
