The Drying Company purposely hasn’t hired an on-staff engineer because we feel it is a conflict of interest. Third-party engineers look out for the customers best interest to make sure the work is done properly. We are trained by our manufactures what to look for and what is required to fix structural issues. The engineer confirms the placement and number of piers and does a post inspection to ensure that they were installed correctly.
By utilizing a third party instead of an on staff engineer, our clients know that what’s being recommended by the engineer is unbiased. Structural engineers are paid a flat rate for their inspections, they make no commission on how many piers we install, and they don’t have a loyalty to our company to install as many piers as possible. Their ONLY concern, just like ours, is giving YOU, the homeowner, the right solution to protect and stabilize your home.
