    Hi,

    Evaluating a structure for repair without a field visit is not good practice and has been found to be unethical in cases of subsequent structural failure.

    If you do not feel confident in your own evaluation I recommend finding an experienced engineer who can visit and evaluate the structure.

    Best,
