 Foundation & Structure

Foundation & Structure

Assessing foundation walls is a critical aspect of a building inspection, often ranking among the most costly to repair. The prevalent foundation designs that we examine include concrete (block, poured, and stone), concrete slabs, wood, and pier or pillar constructions.  Understanding the integrity of your foundation can provide significant insights into the overall structural integrity of your home.  When a foundation is under duress, it can gradually deteriorate other elements of the structure, leading to cracks, leaks, bowing walls, sagging floors, and a multitude of costly problems.
