Garth Haslem, PE, SE
Garth Haslem is a structural engineer, licensed in Utah. He has performed structural inspections since 1993. Garth is the structural engineer that will go out to homes, identify problems and then provide solutions. He does settling foundations, cracked walls, sagging beams & headers, damaged structural columns, manufactured homes, damaged rafters, and the list keeps going. He also consults on homes that have been damaged by fire, flood, wind, earthquakes and even explosions. Purchase consults? We do that. Putting a walkout door in your basement? Need a lintel? Yeah we do that. Need structural piers? Maybe you do, and maybe you don't. Let's talk.

Traveling Engineer 29 Structural collapse
1978 was great. That's what they said at graduation, but for construction it really wasn't so awesome. This inspection had a collapsed roof that nearly killed a number of workers

What do you do when your beautiful home is beautiful, but has a 90s floor plan? When the interior walls are structural but the home isn't open? And when you can't move?
