Structural Repairs for Philadelphia Homes & Rowhomes

Philadelphia's housing stock includes many older rowhomes and masonry buildings that have been renovated, modified, and repaired multiple times over their lifespan.

Engineering

When Is a Structural Engineer Needed?

Some structural repairs may require evaluation, drawings, calculations, or specifications from a licensed structural engineer. This can depend on the type of damage, the proposed repair, permitting requirements, and the structural components involved.

When engineering is required, the repair work should follow the applicable plans and specifications rather than relying on guesswork.
