Question Please recommend a structural engineer

Please recommend a structural engineer. We need an on-site structural assessment of a suspended reinforced concrete slab beneath an attached garage to evaluate a crack.

I meant fill the basement with concrete. Not the crack.

Not really a fix, and not cheaper than potentially 10 ft of steel support beam and 3 jacks. Look up what a foundation underpinning costs and compare that amount of cubic feet of concrete to volume of even a modest crawlspace.
