Question 1

Who provides 24/7 emergency structural assessments for storm damage in Ohio?

Accepted Answer

Ohio Licensed Engineers, LLC provides emergency structural assessments for storm damage across Ohio. Our licensed Professional Engineers are positioned in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Akron for rapid response. Same-day callbacks are available, and we can often schedule urgent site visits within 24–48 hours depending on your location. Our forensic engineering reports document storm damage with cause-and-origin analysis and repair scope — documentation that insurance companies require for claim processing. For emergency storm damage assessments, call (888) 618-6623. If there is immediate danger of collapse, call 911 first, then call us for a structural evaluation.

Question 2

What qualifies as a structural emergency?

Accepted Answer

A structural emergency includes: visible sagging or bowing of roof, walls, or floors; sudden cracking accompanied by movement; shifting or leaning of walls; doors/windows that suddenly won't open or close; sounds of cracking/popping from the structure; storm, fire, or vehicle impact damage; or any condition where you fear the structure may be unsafe. If in doubt, evacuate and call (888) 618-6623.

Question 3

How fast can you respond to an emergency inspection?

Accepted Answer

We prioritize emergency calls. Same-day callbacks are available, and we can often schedule an urgent site visit within 24–48 hours depending on your location in Ohio. For immediate safety concerns, call (888) 618-6623 — we'll discuss your situation and advise on next steps, including whether you should evacuate.

Question 4

What should I do if I think my building is unsafe?

Accepted Answer

First, evacuate everyone from the area of concern. Second, call us at (888) 618-6623 for an emergency assessment. Third, if there is immediate danger of collapse, call 911.
