Book a free foundation inspection

What to expect, start to finish

1. Before the visit. After you call or send the form, someone confirms a time with you. Phone photos of the crack or wet spot are welcome but not needed.
2. On the day. The inspector checks every basement wall, the floor, the posts and beams, and then the outside: grading, gutters, downspouts, walks and the slope of the lot. Cracks get measured, a bowed wall gets its lean recorded, and you get the explanation in person.
3. The written sheet. If work is needed, you receive an itemized estimate that names the cause, the method, the quantities, cleanup and backfill, any permit on its own line, and any warranty terms.
4. Afterwards. The price holds for the period written on it. You decide in your own time. If you go ahead, the work is scheduled and the permit, if any, is filed first.

If it cannot wait
