One of the most crucial aspects to assess with your home is the structure’s foundation. It’s the number one concern, especially in areas with problematic soils, as these can lead to issues such as settlement, cracks, and other structural problems over time. To ensure that you’re making a fully informed decision, you may consider adding an engineering foundation evaluation through our partnership. This evaluation will provide a clear understanding of the current condition of the foundation and help you avoid any surprises down the road.
Please ask yourself:
- Did You see Visual Indications of Foundation Failure? – Were there any indicators of foundation problems during the showing; i.e. wall cracks, doors that stick, windows that don’t open, sheetrock cracking? If there were some indicators of foundation problems, they may want an engineering opinion.
- Do you trust the seller? – Do you trust that the seller has had no prior knowledge of foundation issues and was there any documentation in the seller’s disclosure? If there is no previous historic knowledge on the foundation, they may want an engineering opinion.
- Was foundation work already performed? – Has any foundation work been performed to-date? If there has been foundation work performed, you may want an engineer to provide an opinion on performance of the existing remediations, the extent and validity of the documentation, and an assessment of the warranty limitations/considerations.
If any of these is a concern to you then consider having your foundation thoroughly evaluated for a better peace of mind. Call 979-525-1970 to book your inspection today!
