Elevation Survey

As part of the comprehensive inspection process, precise measurements are taken from a central location within the home to the corners of each room on the ground floor. This meticulous approach is used to assess the levelness of the floor, providing a detailed understanding of how even or uneven the foundation may be.

These measurements are crucial in creating a survey of the ground floor, effectively offering a 'snapshot' of the foundation's current condition. This survey serves as a valuable benchmark, allowing homeowners to compare the present state of the foundation with previous or future surveys. Such comparisons can reveal subtle or significant shifts in the foundation over time, which may indicate underlying issues like soil movement, settling, or other structural changes.

By tracking these changes, homeowners can better understand the health of their foundation and take proactive steps to address any concerns before they develop into more serious problems. Early detection of foundation movement is essential for preventing further damage to the structure of the home, ensuring that necessary repairs or adjustments can be made in a timely manner.

This survey of the first floor is provided at no additional cost when you choose a Premium Home Inspection. It offers invaluable insights into the stability of your home’s foundation, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is safe, secure, and standing on solid ground.

"We had a foundation inspection performed on a one year old house. The guys were thorough, answered all of our questions and explained the results in a way that was easy to understand. They found several areas that we were unaware of and gave us a better understanding of what to look for in the future and how to protect our slab from new damage. I will be using Fox again in the future and recommending you to our friends. Thanks." ~Shawn Greer
