Home Foundation Inspection | San Jose | San Francisco Bay Area |
Nothing matters more than a home's foundation, plain and simple. Most people are discouraged by properties that have significant foundation troubles, and that's because foundation woes around can be costly and time-consuming. That's the reason we offer our customers the greatest and most nuanced foundation inspections available.
You might not know what to look for when it comes to a foundation that is failing. It’s actually more simple than you might think. If you’ve experienced misaligned doors, windows that won’t close, or cracking ceilings, then you’ve most likely experienced a failing foundation. Foundation inspection will uncover these maladies for you, since they don’t always reveal themselves on the floor of your home - where you’d typically think to look. With earthquakes as common as they are in San Jose, there’s nothing more important than a structurally sound home. And the saying “only as strong as its foundation” has never held more truth. In the event of an earthquake, a home with an unstable foundation doesn’t have much of a chance to survive, which could mean imminent danger to the family and pets inside of it. A crack in the foundation of your home or a home you’re potentially buying may not seem like a huge problem. It may seem cosmetic at the very worst. But that’s simply not the case. A crack in the foundation means that it’s possible for water to get into the soil that’s holding up your home’s foundation, and water and soil mixed together means that soon the soil will wash away. When the basis for your home’s bottom structure is gone, then what’s left of your home? You don’t want your life resting on an insecure basis. Foundation is arguably one of the more crucial parts of your home to keep healthy in order to maintain its well being. Fortunately, the situation isn’t always that dire. Sometimes a crack is just a crack, and it happens due to natural flexing of the infrastructure. Still, though, it’s not something that should go uncared for. Minor repair is needed to cover up the crack, but there’s no danger of anything dramatic happening to your home. Our foundation inspection work checks off many boxes. Our inspectors concentrate heavy on issues that signify problematic foundations. If there's something wrong with a foundation for any reason, then it may lead to noticeable splits in tiles, outside splits, and significant deterioration of wood. If you observe rotten beams and piers anywhere inside a property, foundation troubles very well could be the reason. When completing a foundation inspection, to follow are a few key problems that we look for:
Excess water is the number one detriment to a home’s foundation. In order to combat this, make sure to keep your home’s foundation as dry as possible. This means preventing direct contact from sprinklers, installing/cleaning gutters, and keeping foliage and shrubbery away from your home’s foundation to keep water from seeping through. Issues with a foundation can negatively impact flooring in any living space as well. If flooring is present that seems inconsistent and far from flat, then it may be related to a major foundation concern. Our team members are detail-oriented professionals with the ability to pick up on foundation concerns that run the gamut. They recognize both small and subtle foundation difficulties, along with difficulties that are extremely large. Call our staff for mold inspection and testing work, or call us for general home inspection. We’ll give you access to professional inspection skills whose quality you won’t find anywhere else.
