A real inspection means someone gets under the house. Free assessments for homeowners — and fast, thorough pre-purchase inspections for buyers racing an option period.
A drive-by look at your baseboards is not a foundation inspection. A proper pier and beam inspection puts an experienced person in the crawl space with a light and a level, checking:
You get findings in plain English, photos from under the house, and — if repairs are warranted — a written itemized estimate. If nothing’s wrong, you’ll be told nothing’s wrong. An inspection that always finds a $10,000 problem isn’t an inspection; it’s a sales visit.
General home inspectors do good work, but most won’t fully traverse a tight crawl space, and their reports often close with the same sentence: “recommend evaluation by a foundation specialist.” That sentence is your cue — and your leverage.
A specialist inspection during your option period tells you what the house actually needs and what it will cost, in writing. Buyers use these reports to negotiate repairs or price reductions that routinely exceed the cost of the entire inspection process. Sellers use pre-listing inspections to take the foundation question off the table before it derails a closing. Fast scheduling matters here, and we treat option-period requests as the deadline-driven jobs they are.
Homeowner assessments are free — they’re how every repair conversation starts. Detailed written reports for real estate transactions, with elevation maps and photo documentation, are quoted per property based on size and access; call for a same-day quote.
A pier and beam inspection takes about an hour and costs nothing. You’ll get a straight answer about what’s wrong — and what it should cost to fix — before anyone asks you for a dime.
