Sounds like you need a Home Inspector. They're pretty good at
this kind of stuff and they'll tell you if something specific
needs further inspection by a specialist.

Actually, telling you something needs further inspection like a water
leak problem is pretty much all many home isnpectors do. They take a
look at the water leak and unless it's obvious that it's from
something readily identifiable like a missing downspout, they just
write "water leaking into basement where foundation wall meets
basement floor on north side. Should be further evaluated to detemine
cause.

The OP didn't give us much to go on here either. If we knew more,
there are many simple things that he could probably check himself.



If you had been concerned about a specific structural issue,
then a structural engineer would have made more sense.

FYI, around here, the termite inspectors are also very
good at checking for damage resulting from water/leaks;
dry rot, wet rot, mold etc.
