A strong foundation is the backbone of any home. Whether you're considering a charming bungalow, a spacious family home, or a modern masterpiece, a thorough foundation inspection is crucial for any homeowner. Settling foundations can cause significant structural damage, so proactive inspection and maintenance are essential for protecting your investment.
Our foundation inspection provides a comprehensive visual assessment of your home's foundation. We meticulously inspect for cracks in the foundation walls and slabs, looking for signs of movement or instability. Additionally, we check for soil separation from the edge of slabs, which could indicate foundation settlement.
For homes with crawlspaces, our inspection goes beyond the foundation itself. We assess the crawlspace, checking for proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup. This can lead to foundation problems and wood rot, so ensuring adequate airflow is crucial. We also check the skirting and vent openings for any signs of animal access, as these pests can cause significant damage to crawlspaces.
A thorough foundation inspection can identify potential problems before they become major issues. We meticulously check for separation of piers and beams, slipped or missing shims, and wood deterioration within the crawlspace. These issues can all contribute to foundation problems, so early detection is key. By providing a detailed report outlining our findings and recommendations, we empower you to address any concerns and ensure the security of your property.
