When to Request a Noble Engineering Evaluation

Standard home inspectors are trained to identify and report visible defects. Licensed Professional Engineers are trained to determine root causes, assess structural adequacy, and recommend remediation. Noble offers PE evaluations for situations where a standard inspection finding raises engineering-level questions.

• Foundation cracking, settlement, or movement beyond normal tolerances
• Structural modifications — wall removals, beam replacements, room additions
• Post-storm damage assessments for insurance or repair planning
• Drainage and grading problems causing chronic water intrusion
• Retaining walls, slopes, and site stability concerns
• Expert witness reports for real estate litigation and disputes

Noble engineering evaluations are typically completed within 5-7 business days and delivered as a PE-stamped written report. The report is suitable for submission to insurance companies, contractors, attorneys, and municipal building departments.

PE-Licensed Engineering Evaluations for Complex Property Issues

Noble Property Inspections is one of the few property inspection companies in the country with licensed Professional Engineers (PE) on staff and as co-owners. This means that when a structural concern, foundation problem, or drainage issue falls beyond the scope of a standard home inspection, we can escalate immediately to a formal engineering evaluation — without a separate referral.

Engineering reports are stamped and signed by a licensed PE, making them admissible for insurance claims, contractor bids, real estate negotiations, and municipal permit applications.
