🧱 AI Wall Analysis

From photo Mar 8

Snap a photo of any wall — AI identifies load-bearing risk and what's hidden inside.

78%load-bearing
Likely Load-Bearing

Kitchen-to-Living Room Wall

This wall runs perpendicular to floor joists and is centered under the roof ridge. High probability it carries structural load.

Electrical
Critical95%

Light switch + outlet detected on both sides. Likely contains a circuit run.

🏗️Structural
Critical78%

Wall appears to support floor joists above. LVL beam replacement needed if removed.

🚿Plumbing
Moderate40%

Kitchen sink is 4 ft away — possible supply/drain lines routed through.

❄️HVAC
Low25%

Vent register nearby but likely in floor, not in wall cavity.

⚠️

Never remove a wall without confirming load-bearing status with a structural engineer.

⚠️

Temporary shoring MUST be in place before any structural wall is touched.

⚠️

Unpermitted structural work can void homeowner's insurance and create liability at resale.

This AI assessment is based on visual analysis only. A licensed structural engineer must verify load-bearing status before any work begins. This is not a substitute for professional engineering.

Bare patches in backyard

high

About 1,260 sq ft of thin/bare areas, concentrated near the tree line and high-traffic path.

🧱

Soil compaction

medium

Ground feels hard underfoot in play areas — aeration needed before overseeding.

🌑

Thin spots along fence line

medium

Shade from fence causing thinning. Consider shade-tolerant fescue blend.

🌼

Early weed pressure

low

Some clover and dandelion starting. Pre-emergent timing is critical this week.

Seed math: Overseed rate: 5 lbs/1,000 sq ft for bare patches (1,260 sq ft) + 3 lbs/1,000 sq ft for thin areas (2,940 sq ft). Full reseed: 10 lbs/1,000 sq ft.

🔥 Do This Month

Mar 10-25🌱 seeding

🌱 Overseed Bare Patches

Cool-season seed germinates best with soil temps 50-65°F. March gives seedlings 6-8 weeks to establish before summer heat.

🎯Why now: Soil temp hit 55°F this week + rain forecast Wed
Mar 8-15🛡️ pest

🛡️ Apply Pre-Emergent (non-seeded areas)

Crabgrass preventer must go down before soil hits 55°F for 3+ consecutive days. You’re right at the edge — this week is the last chance.

🎯Why now: Soil temp at threshold — window closing
Mar 14-15🔧 aerating

🔧 Core Aerate Before Overseeding

Aerating breaks up compacted soil and gives seed direct contact with earth. Always aerate BEFORE seeding for best germination.

🎯Why now: Soil is moist from recent rain — ideal for pulling cores
