Foundation inspection and engineering referrals that document cracks, floors and drainage, then connect you with a structural engineer when the situation calls for one.
Not every foundation problem needs a big repair, and not every crack is a crisis. A careful inspection sorts the two. It also gives you something concrete to show a lender, a buyer or an engineer. For many Nashville homeowners the biggest question is simple: is this normal, or should I do something now. We help answer it with measurements, photos and honest advice, and we bring in a structural engineer when the situation needs a stamped opinion.
Our inspection covers the outside of the foundation, the interior walls and floors, the crawl space or basement, the roof drainage and the lot grading. We measure floor levels, look at cracks, doors, windows and trim and photograph what we find. We then write a plain summary of what looks stable, what to monitor and what to fix. If movement or damage is significant, we recommend a structural engineer, explain what to ask for and can work from their drawings. We are not engineers, and we do not replace one when one is needed.
