Compare the diagnosis
Ask what evidence supports the recommendation. Which areas are moving? How was movement measured? Are drainage or plumbing conditions relevant? Is the proposed repair intended to stabilize, lift, or both?
Compare the scope
Look for a clear description of the work area, support method, access assumptions, cleanup, landscaping or flatwork impacts, finish repairs, and what happens if unexpected conditions are discovered.
Know when to get another opinion
If recommendations differ dramatically, the repair is extensive, or you want an independent technical view, a structural engineer can help separate diagnosis from sales.
