Our Home Foundation Inspection Process

When we evaluate the safety and security of your home’s foundation, we’re not just keeping an eye out for obvious flaws or alarming deficiencies. We take our time to carefully process all aspects of possible foundation defects – most of which may seem futile at first but will only tarnish the condition and stability of your home the longer it’s unaddressed.

Here are just a few of the things we look out for during a routine foundation inspection:

  • Signs of leakage or water penetration through any cracks detected within the foundation
  • Indications of poor soil conditions or any other factors that could forward erosion progress
  • Framing or structural issues that require repair or replacement services
  • Significant or minor cracks, bulges, or blemishes in the walls or materials of a basement or crawl space

The quicker any of these foundation issues or other housing complications are adequately addressed, the more secure your home will remain for many years to come. Read our reviews to see how previous customers assess our foundation inspection services!

Signs Your Home’s Foundation Needs Improvement

Foundation issues or complications can range from the obvious to undetectable by the naked eye. When we perform our home foundation inspections, we apply our InterNACHI and ASHI training skills to focus on all aspects of possible safety hazards or health risks. Click to learn more!

Cracks

Whether it’s due to too much exposure to moisture or dated construction and material installation, cracks can be a foundation’s worst enemy, causing anything from significant erosion to structural collapse.

Gaps or Spaces

Gaps between slab and foundation walls must be addressed quickly to avoid possible flooring damage or any excess stress and contractions for building materials.

Mold

Basements and crawl spaces can be breeding grounds for mold. Detecting signs of mold in your home’s foundation can help you avoid dealing with spores, excessive moisture, and hazardous air quality issues.

Wood Erosion

Bouncing floors or rotting wood can prove disastrous for your home’s foundation, as well as severely increase the probability of significant structural damage.

Radon

Our Minnesota licensed radon testing services will detect any hazardous levels of radon gas to determine the overall safety of your home’s air quality.
