Questions about foundation inspections
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. The check and the written report are free. You only pay if you choose repair or ask for an engineer letter.
How long does it take?
About 45 to 60 minutes at the house. The written report comes within 24 hours.
Will you try to sell me piers?
No. If the readings are normal, the report says so. Our inspectors are not paid more for selling piers.
What is a floor-level reading?
A digital level measures the height of the floor in each room, so you see where the slab has dropped or lifted.
