Professional Foundation Inspection
Identify potential problems early and make informed decisions about your home.
How do I know if I need a Foundation Inspection?
You may need a foundation inspection if you notice cracks in walls, floors, or brickwork, sticking doors or windows, uneven or sloping floors, gaps around doors or trim, or signs of foundation settlement. An inspection can help identify the cause of these issues and determine whether repairs or preventive measures are needed.
What’s Included in a Foundation Inspection
When to Schedule an Inspection
- Buying or selling a home.
- Notice cracks in walls or brick.
- Doors or windows are sticking.
- Uneven or sloping floors.
- After a major drought or heavy rain.
A foundation inspection typically includes a visual evaluation of the home’s interior and exterior, looking for signs of settlement, movement, drainage concerns, structural distress, and other conditions that may affect the foundation. Findings can help determine whether repairs or monitoring are recommended.
The length of a foundation inspection depends on the size and condition of the property, but many residential inspections can be completed within one to two hours. More complex properties may require additional evaluation.
Yes. Drainage conditions are often evaluated because excess moisture or poor water management can contribute to foundation movement. Standing water, improper grading, clogged drainage systems, and downspout issues may be identified during the inspection process.
A foundation inspection can help identify signs of foundation movement, structural concerns, and contributing factors such as drainage issues. Based on the findings, recommendations may include monitoring, drainage improvements, further evaluation, or foundation repair solutions when appropriate.
If you notice cracks in walls, ceilings, or brickwork, or sticking doors or windows, don’t wait. Early evaluation can help prevent more costly problems down the road.
