Structural Engineer in Katy, TX
Katy's rapid growth means most of our calls here involve newer construction, not old age. We evaluate builder-grade foundation work, check compaction on graded lots, and catch settlement issues early before they become bigger structural problems.
Katy has grown so fast over the past two decades that most of the structural work we do here has nothing to do with old age. It's about newer construction: homes three, five, ten years old that are still settling, sometimes normally and sometimes because the lot grading or compaction wasn't quite right before the slab went down.
Because so much of Katy was built out in phases across large master-planned communities, we also see a fair number of cases where a specific section or phase has more reported issues than its neighbors, usually tied to how that section's soil was prepped during development. Knowing which phase a home is in tells us a lot before we even arrive.

Katy FAQ
New construction settling is normal to a point, but if compaction wasn't done correctly before the slab was poured, movement can show up earlier and more unevenly than it should.
That depends on your builder's warranty terms and how long ago you closed. We can document the condition and cause, which you can then take to the builder if the timeline supports a claim.
