Foundation Inspection

Why Foundation Inspections are so important

Whether you own a home or are in the market for a new one, a foundation inspection is one of the best things you can do to avoid and prevent serious problems in the future. When it comes to a home's foundation, it is better to be safe than sorry.

When it is time to call for a professional foundation inspection?

If you are buying a home and your home inspector points to some signs of foundation problems, get a professional foundation inspection before you close the deal. Only an experienced foundation repair contractor can determine whether the problem is of concern and tell you how long before it gets worse. They will also give you a written estimate that – if you really love the home – you can use to negotiate the price of the property or ask the current owners to fix it before the closing.

If you are already a homeowner, visually inspect your foundation for any signs of problems and get a professional inspection if you have any kind of concern.
