What to Expect from a Foundation Inspection

  • Initial visual inspection: Our foundation inspection will begin with an initial visual inspection of both the interior and exterior of the foundation. We will look for visible signs of damage or concerns, including cracks, bulging, shifting, or settling.
  • Drainage inspection: Another essential part of our foundation inspection is checking any drainage components that may affect the foundation. We will check that the draining components are all working properly and will not cause water damage or other issues to the foundation. During this time, we can also check the effectiveness of any waterproofing measures.
  • Comprehensive report: Once our foundation inspection has been completed, we will provide you with a comprehensive report of our findings, so you can understand the details about your foundation, including the current condition, any concerns, and any recommended repairs to improve it. We can also answer any questions or concerns you may have concerning the report.

Our foundation inspection can help identify any damage, water damage, or signs of concern with your foundation, so you can plan for it accordingly and schedule any necessary repairs before anything gets worse. You can give us a call if you would like to learn more.
