Comprehensive Foundation Inspection Services

A professional foundation inspection is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your Amarillo home. Whether you're buying a new property, have noticed warning signs of foundation problems, or simply want peace of mind about your home's structural integrity, a thorough foundation inspection provides valuable information about your foundation's condition.

In the Texas Panhandle, foundation inspections are especially important due to our challenging expansive clay soil conditions. Many foundation problems develop slowly over time and aren't immediately obvious to untrained eyes. A professional inspector knows exactly what to look for and can identify issues in their early stages when repairs are typically less extensive and less expensive.

Our comprehensive foundation inspections provide you with a detailed assessment of your foundation's condition, identification of any problems or potential concerns, and professional recommendations for addressing any issues discovered. You'll receive a written report you can use for your records, insurance claims, or real estate transactions.

Our Foundation Inspection Process

Exterior Foundation Inspection

We thoroughly examine the exterior of your foundation, looking for cracks, displacement, water damage, and signs of settlement. We check the condition of the foundation walls, grading around the home, and drainage systems.

Interior Structural Assessment

Inside your home, we inspect for signs of foundation issues including cracks in walls and ceilings, sticking doors and windows, uneven floors, and gaps between walls and floors. We use laser levels and other specialized equipment to measure floor elevation changes.

Crawl Space & Below-Grade Inspection

For pier and beam foundations, we inspect the crawl space for moisture issues, wood rot, foundation support conditions, and proper ventilation. For basement foundations, we check for water infiltration, wall bowing, and structural issues.

Detailed Report & Recommendations

After the inspection, you'll receive a comprehensive written report detailing our findings, including photos and documentation. If we identify any issues, we provide professional recommendations for addressing them and can prepare a detailed repair estimate.

When Should You Get a Foundation Inspection?

Before Buying a Home

A foundation inspection before purchasing a home can save you from buying a property with expensive foundation problems. In the Texas Panhandle's challenging soil conditions, foundation issues are common and should be identified before closing.

Warning Signs Present

If you notice cracks, sticking doors and windows, uneven floors, or other potential foundation problems, schedule an inspection immediately. Early detection can prevent minor issues from becoming major repairs.

After Major Weather Events

Severe storms, flooding, or extended drought periods can impact foundation stability. An inspection after major weather events can identify new problems before they worsen.

Routine Maintenance

Even if you haven't noticed problems, periodic foundation inspections (every 3-5 years) are a smart part of home maintenance, especially for older homes or homes in areas with challenging soil conditions.
