Foundation Inspection in Gastonia, NC

We are Structural Design Solutions, a Charlotte-based licensed structural engineering firm serving Gastonia and the surrounding Gaston County area. Our team provides professional foundation inspection services to homeowners, buyers, realtors, and contractors throughout the region.


Gastonia sits in Gaston County, where clay-heavy soils and seasonal moisture fluctuations place significant stress on residential foundations over time. Homes across the area may develop cracking, settling, or shifting that goes unnoticed until damage grows costly. A licensed engineer can catch these issues early, giving homeowners the information they need to make confident decisions. If you have concerns about your home's foundation, call us at (704) 860-7488 to schedule your inspection.
