Annual Home Foundation Inspection – Why All Homeowners Need One
As a homeowner it’s important to ensure that your home is in good condition – oftentimes, that starts with a foundation inspection.
Starting from a ground-up approach will make certain that your home’s structural integrity stays intact and cut down on major repair costs down the road from prolonged foundation damage.
What are the benefits of scheduling an annual home foundation inspection? Check out some of those below:
- It alerts homeowners to any signs of foundation issues and/or damage before they become severe.
- Different seasons have different effects on a foundation and inspecting the area on a regular basis will catch problems with moisture or poor drainage early, cutting down on major repair costs due to foundation settling.
- Inspections allow homeowners to learn how to identify the signs of foundation damage early, which usually translates to less expensive repairs.
- Inspections will catch settling issues before more damaging signs appear around the property such as cracking, sloped floors, and walls that pull away from the seams.
- Regular foundation inspections are vital for older homes because they’ve been constructed with outdated building and safety codes – meaning, they’re more likely to suffer from foundation degradation.
- Regular foundation inspections prevent secondary damage such as wood rot and mold infestations.
If you’ve noticed any areas of foundation damage around your home, in the form of large cracks on the interior and/or the exterior of the property, uneven or sloping floors, and doors and windows that stick, it’s important to schedule an inspection with a foundation specialist (like Julian Construction) as soon as possible.
