When I was purchasing my home, my general inspector noted various foundation issues in his report,…read moreand recommended that I have a structural engineer come and inspect as well. I raised this as an inspection objection, and the seller decided to hire Susan to come out and inspect. She refuted and confirmed different issues raised by the general inspector, and then the seller collected quotes for the work she recommended, and gave me a concession for that work -- about $8k. Fast forward to 7.5 years later when I was selling the home -- the buyers decided to have Susan McGourty come back out. She told them that the foundation work was not performed properly, and gave them a verbal estimate of $50k in repairs for the house, apparently without giving them any written report, which they said that she would charge for if we wanted it. We got the buyer's permission to speak with her, and she acknowledged that the original work was not done properly, saying that she knew the mason who performed the work, and that he does "good work" but that he just wasn't the right person for the job. I asked her why she quoted over 5 times the original repair cost, and she acknowledged that there were additional issues raised. I asked why she did not raised those issues 7.5 years ago, surely they weren't knew, and she became flippant at this point, saying that "I was only hired to address the issues the general inspector raised". When I objected saying that despite the seller commissioning her, it was my general inspector's report, and I'd been living there for 7.5 years with these issues, she cut me off and said simply "I work for the people who are paying me, just like you." Ma'am, you don't know me. I'm an engineer too, and actually, the customers who I work for and the people who pay me are entirely different individuals, as is the case for probably the majority of the country. But more importantly, as a PE, you should know that your obligations are to the safety, health, and welfare of the public and persons who will be impacted by the work you're performing. I was absolutely shocked at her candor and unprofessional conduct. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

You're inspector will say "there's a crack you should have that looked at." McGourty will tell you if it's detrimental or not. My girlfriend and I started looking for houses about 9 months back. We finally had an offer accepted and were under contract on a house built in 1958. We had looked at houses on the same block where the floor was 6-9 inches below the foundation walls and had very obvious structural issues. This was one of our biggest concerns on the house that we were under contract on. We knew that the inspector would point out any glaring issues but didn't have the knowledge to give us the information and peace of mind we needed to move forward. We reached out to McGourty Engineering. The woman on the phone was very nice and was able to schedule someone to come out and take a look at the house. Rob came out to do the inspection and was very professional and on time. He started by giving us information on the area and offered his opinion of house based on the location, soil type, and year the house was built. He then started in the basement and walked us through the type of construction used on the foundation as well as the pros and cons of that type of system. He took measurements and offered strategies for monitoring cracks in the foundation walls. From there, he moved to the main floor of the house and gave us information on load bearing walls and what we could realistically do with the layout of the house without compromising the structure. We had plans for moving some walls that we found were load bearing. Rob offered his opinion on cost effective strategies for supporting the structure while still giving us the look we wanted. Rob then moved outside and took measurements on the walls of the house. He explained every measurement and pointed out roof drainage issues that may affect the foundation. He then moved to the attic and took measurements on the ceiling trusses to verify the information that he had given us. Rob was able to provide us with an honest assessment on the structure of the home and gave us what we needed to move forward with the house and the projects we had in mind. We will be reaching to McGourty again for any structural information or plans we need in the future.

This was also a very quick-turn request as I had less than a week to provide this report to the sellers. Pricing for inspection and a sealed report were reasonable.
