Frequently Asked Questions
All of our home inspections are complimentary and straightforward. Once you schedule an appointment, one of our Senior Structural Analysts will visit your home to conduct a thorough assessment, detailing the inside and outside and noting all stress points. The inspector will take about 15-20 minutes outside the property to draw the house and then will need access inside for 15-20 minutes to take elevations. The entire evaluation process averages 30 minutes to one hour.
We provide third-party professional engineering reports before and after repairs to confirm and certify the quality of our work on your home.
Our average repair job take one to two days. The time frame for larger projects may be longer.
We ensure minimal damage will come to your landscaping. However, bushes and flowers may need to be replanted. We will do everything possible to ensure plant survival and discuss relocation options with you before we begin working.
As slab foundations settle, they can compromise the plumbing pipes beneath your house. When we repair your foundation, they may need repairs to put them back in place. To ensure your plumbing remains intact, we always recommend working with a certified Master Plumber to conduct tests before and after the repair work.
The goal of home foundation repairs is to return your home to its original horizontal position as best as possible while limiting damage to your home. So, it’s possible to close and open cracks during the repair process. The stair-step cracks between exterior bricks, called brick cracks, typically close up when we repair the foundation. This is no guarantee, as each home is different, and other factors that have more to do with the home’s construction may prevent the cracks from closing. You may also see some new small drywall or brick veneer cracks once your foundation is repaired.
