I am heavily involved in two foundation cases right now, and people waste so much money on french drains, landscapers, ect....without first getting a soil engineer when he can come in there and identify the problem and provide a solution. I got a bill from one for @$500 last week so it isn't really cost prohibitive. If he says you were lied to and something needs to be remediated, you will already have an expert's report in case you consider litigation.
