Hay Branch Services

Testimonials

“If you need a Structural Engineer, I recommend contacting Hay Branch Services. They recently did an amazing job evaluating a property for a client of mine, making sure we knew exactly what structural issues needed to be addressed before closing.”

Kelly McCord Realtor

“Sam did a through assessment of our property and explained his findings in terms we could understand. He listened to our concerns and recommended a septic system that met our needs and were happy with. He was prompt, professional and just a really nice guy. We would recommend Sam's services to anyone considering a new septic system.”

Duane and Lori Jeter

“I called Sam to look at a basement that had some settling issues. He was so good at explaining to me what was happening and what could me done to fix it, going over all the options 2 different basement companies had given. He was able to visit this property quickly and called to explain even more as he started writing up his report. I highly recommend calling Sam for any structural or foundation issues.”

Deb Miller, Realtor, Iowa Realty Beaverdale

“Awesome experience with Sam! Had a last minute snag on a listing that was going to hold up closing. Sam was able to come out SAME DAY (unheard of in the structural engineering world in DSM)! He provided the documentation we needed to keep our closing moving forward. He was easy to talk to and knowledgeable too. Highly recommend working with Hay Branch Services!”
