How We Diagnose Before Quoting

Foundation work is a trade where the same symptom has several possible causes at very different prices, so the diagnosis is the job. A horizontal crack in a block wall means lateral soil pressure and needs reinforcement. A vertical crack in a poured wall is usually shrinkage from the original cure and needs injection. A settling corner means the footing has lost support and needs piers. Sticking doors upstairs might be any of the three, or none. We inspect the exterior grade and drainage first, then the basement or crawl space, measure any movement, and photograph what we find. You get a plain-language report of what is happening, what is causing it, and whether it needs work now, monitoring, or nothing at all. Roughly a fifth of our inspections end with us telling someone they do not need us yet.

Common Questions

Is the inspection really free?

Yes, including the written report and photographs. If we conclude nothing structural is needed we say so and leave. That costs us a visit and earns the referral more often than a sale would.

Does homeowners insurance cover foundation repair?

Generally not. Standard policies exclude settling, soil movement and groundwater, which covers most of what we see in metro Detroit. The exception is a sudden covered event, such as a burst supply line washing out soil beneath a footing. We document the cause either way.

Should I get a second opinion?

Yes, and we mean it. This is a trade with real variation in what gets recommended for the same wall. A second opinion costs you nothing and a correct diagnosis holds up under scrutiny.
