A good evaluation measures your foundation properly: laser floor levels, wall-deflection gauging, every crack logged by width and direction, the lot's water story walked and photographed. Ask for it to conclude in a written, itemized scope, or a documented monitoring plan when that's the truth.
Inside a good hour
- Lot walk: grading, gutters, drainage reality in Group D ground
- Wall survey: sighted, gauged, photographed; deflection in inches
- Floor mapping: laser levels locating settlement's actual footprint
- Crack log: width, direction, and history for every line
- The verdict. Ask for systems, counts, itemized prices, timeline and warranties in writing
Be wary of expiring discounts and tonight-only theater. Houses move by seasons; honest numbers keep for months.
