When is an Inspection Necessary?
We do offer free phone consultations, but the only way we can accurately determine what the solutions to your problems are is by conducting a thorough interior and exterior inspection of your home by one of our licensed and certified inspectors. Only then can we know with certainty what your issues are, why they are occurring, and the options we have available to resolve those issues.
Regardless of the issue – whether it’s cracks in the walls, water seepage or any other concern – we need to examine your basement, the foundation, and ask you questions for a proper and accurate diagnosis. There are so many different scenarios and remedies that make it virtually impossible to recommend any action without a thorough site inspection.
Our website gives free advice. We give free consultations and advice over the phone. We are also willing to come out to your property and consult with you at no cost or obligation. All we ask is that all property owners be present, and if you are going to ask someone to act as your consultant, like a family member, friend, or associate, please have them there as well.

Thinking of Buying and/or Selling a Home? Inspections are Crucial
Before you ever buy another home, allow us to inspect your foundation. You may call another home inspector, but we truly do not encounter many who understand foundation and structural repair. It is not something that is taught during their short training period; it takes years of experience in the field, and years of studying this specific industry and science before one can become proficient in this industry. 30% of our waterproofing business comes from homeowners who just purchased a home, where the inspector misdiagnosed their moisture and mold problems, and told them to simply extend their downspouts and grade. Good advice, just not a good solution.
We will inspect your foundation or your entire home if you like, and give you a detailed inspection report.
How To Add Value to Your Home Before Selling
Before you list your home for sale, you may want to fix and renovate your basement to add value. Call us – we can renovate your basement, give you a full lifetime warranty, which you can pass to the new homeowner as a selling benefit.
It is estimated that 90% to 120% of any cost of basement renovation is added value to the home’s selling price. Plus, it looks better, and helps you sell your home quickly and without any disclosure issues or having to sell “As Is”. Selling “As Is” decreases the home’s value by 10% – 25%. Realtors know this – ask one.
