A professional foundation or crawl space repair evaluation generally includes an inspection and full assessment of the home or building’s foundation or crawl space. During this process, an inspector will examine the overall structure for visible signs of damage such as cracks, dry rot, fungal growth or mold, shifting, settling, evidence of water intrusion or high humidity. They will also check for more subtle signs of trouble such as walls that are out-of-plumb or sagging floors or doors that don’t shut properly.

The inspector may also take measurements and photos in order to get a better sense of what type of repair is needed.. Once the inspection is complete, they will provide you with a verbal report that outlines their findings followed by a written report and recommendations for repairs.
