Foundation inspections are critical to understanding a home's structural integrity. They identify potential problems like settlement and moisture intrusion that can lead to costly repairs if not addressed early. While some signs, such as cracks or uneven floors, may be spotted by homeowners, a professional inspection is necessary for accurate diagnosis and solution recommendations. These inspections ensure long-term stability of the home, especially after severe weather events. Relying on casual observations during home tours is insufficient; a thorough foundation inspection is crucial before making a purchase decision.

"Foundation inspections are critical: Step cracks, vertical cracks, cracks not along mortar lines, hydrostatic pressure causing bulges. Only a professional knows what they all mean."
