The foundation is the most important part of a home. It is important to know what position, as well as condition, that the foundation is in when purchasing a home. This is often over-looked during many home inspections. At Southern Source Inspections, we provide you with a FREE digital analysis of the position of the home's foundation, which helps you become more informed on it's structural integrity, which adds tremendous value to your home inspection.
There is a limit on what you can tell regarding the condition of a foundation just by looking at it. In order to be certain, the best way is to measure it. We use State of the Art instruments that are accurate withing 1/10th of an inch to check for foundation problems. This helps us provide you with a higher level of accurate information that you need during your home inspection. We use a Smart Level, which is a device that is attached to a cable that can travel from room to room, around corners, over and under furniture, and from one side of the house to the other. This is much more accurate than a laser level, as a laser can only shoot the line of sight - it cannot tell what the elevation is in other areas. |
We provide you with key measurements that you need, and also bring to your attention if any areas seem to be excessively low or high. Expensive foundation repairs are the last thing you want when you buy a home, trust us to protect your investment. 225-955-9262 |
