FOUNDATION ELEVATION ASSESSMENT
Why Hire us instead of getting a free inspection from a foundation repair company?
SIMPLE: We can be trusted and we are not trying to sell you an expensive repair.
We don't even recommend anyone.
Owners of newly constructed homes have an opportunity to establish a baseline record of measured floor or foundation elevations near the beginning of the home's service life.
A Foundation Elevation Measurement & Baseline Documentation service provides recorded elevation measurements at designated locations. These measurements can be retained as a reference point and compared with measurements obtained at a later date using consistent measurement locations and methodology.
Establishing baseline measurements soon after construction can provide useful documentation for future comparison. Measurements obtained later may help document whether measurable changes in elevation have occurred over time. The measurements themselves do not determine the cause, significance, or structural implications of any observed change.
For this reason, establishing a baseline may be particularly useful during an applicable builder or construction warranty period. Warranty coverage, duration, terms, and exclusions vary by builder, contract, and applicable law. Homeowners should review their individual warranty documents for specific coverage and deadlines.
For the most meaningful comparison, baseline measurements are generally most useful when obtained while the home is relatively new and before significant changes may occur. A baseline may be established after construction, including during the first one to two years, but the timing of the measurement should be documented.
DISCLAIMER
This service provides measurement and documentation only. It does not constitute a structural engineering evaluation, determine whether foundation movement is active, establish the cause or significance of any elevation difference, or certify the structural condition or code compliance of the home.
