What is a Foundation Inspection and Why Should I Get One?
Even minor foundation damage needs to be detected early to ensure it doesn’t end up causing your home to collapse in on itself. Fortunately, that’s where a foundation inspection comes in.
Foundation repair experts assess the condition of both the interior and exterior of your property. Then they identify any structural concerns or foundation damage by looking for cracks in the walls or floors, uneven flooring. They also look for signs of water damage using specialized tools like levels or laser measuring devices.
These foundation inspections are even more essential in Houston. The soil here is mostly made up of clay that regularly swells and contracts due to the extreme weather in the region.
This can eventually
cause your foundation to sink, shift or crack, resulting in sinking or uneven floors which can be extremely dangerous for the occupants.

Qualities of a Structurally Sound Foundation
How can you tell if your foundation is in good shape? Here are a few things to check:
- Floors and surfaces that are level and smooth.
- Walls that are crack-free, whether it’s a small crack or a big one.
- Doors and windows that close without sticking or gaps.
- A dry basement or crawl space with no water damage.
Regularly checking for these signs can help you spot problems early. If you notice any horizontal cracks or shifting walls, it might be time to call in the experts.
What is the Cost of a Foundation Inspection?
The typical cost of a foundation inspection typically ranges from $300 to $800. But it really depends on the following factors:
Property Size
Larger homes need more time and effort to inspect.
Foundation Type
Whether it’s a slab, crawl space, or pier and beam, different foundations need different tools and methods.
Level of Detail
A quick visual check costs less than an in-depth analysis.
The good news is many companies in the Houston area like Two Brothers Foundation Repair offer discounted or even free evaluations. Catching foundation issues early can save you thousands on future repairs!
What Does a Foundation Inspection Typically Include?
Expert foundation inspections involve more than just walking around the house. Here’s what you can expect during the process:
-
1. Visual Assessments
Inspectors will walk through your home. They will check for visible cracks, sloping floors, and gaps around windows or doors.
-
2. Elevation Readings
Zip levels measure the elevation of all floors in the property. They are used to check how much the foundation has shifted.
-
3. Drainage Evaluations
The inspector checks the gutters and downspouts. They ensure that all rain water is being diverted from the foundation.
-
4. Soil Assessment
They will check the soil beneath the foundation. This is to find any signs of shrinkage or expansion. These could shift your foundation from its original place.
-
5. Detailed Reporting
After the evaluation, the inspector will submit a report. It will include their findings, photos, and their repair recommendations and price estimate.
