What Happens During a Professional Foundation Inspection?

If you’re dealing with cracks, sloping floors, or sticking doors, a foundation inspection is the first step toward restoring your home’s structural stability. At Concrete Repairman, we offer thorough and transparent inspections that identify the source of foundation issues, not just the surface symptoms.

So, what exactly happens during a professional foundation inspection?

Why Is a Foundation Inspection Necessary?

A foundation inspection is more than just a visual check. It’s a detailed evaluation of the structural integrity of your home. Early signs of damage, if ignored, can result in major repairs and reduced property value. Whether noticing visible cracks or preparing to purchase a new property, a professional inspection offers peace of mind and helps prevent costly surprises.

What Does the Foundation Inspector Look For?

During an inspection, we focus on the most critical areas of your structure. This includes:

Cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings: Horizontal or stair-step cracks are often signs of structural movement.

Uneven floors or sloping surfaces: These may indicate shifting or sinking of the foundation.

Sticking doors and windows: Misalignment can signal that parts of the home are moving independently.

Water drainage and grading issues: Poor drainage can cause the soil beneath your foundation to expand or erode.

Condition of anchor bolts and stem walls: We check for rust, cracking, or deterioration in essential load-bearing areas.

We also ask questions about your home’s history—previous repairs, water damage, and changes in doors or flooring—to get a full picture of potential causes.

How Long Does a Foundation Inspection Take?

Most inspections take between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on the size of your home and the severity of the symptoms. Our foundation contractor inspects the interior and exterior, including stem walls, garage floors, and perimeter walkways, to identify movement patterns or material degradation.

What Happens After the Inspection?

Once the assessment is complete, we’ll explain our findings clearly and walk you through any observed issues. If repairs are needed, you’ll receive a detailed, customized repair plan outlining the best methods—crack stitching, anchor bolt replacement, or stem wall repair.

Our goal is to provide affordable, long-lasting solutions that address the root of the problem, not temporary surface fixes.
