Foundation Inspections in Knoxville, TN
A foundation inspection gives you a clear answer about cracks, slopes and water before you buy, sell or plan repairs.
Request a foundation inspectionFor buyers
If a home inspection notes cracks or sloping floors, a foundation contractor can tell you whether repairs are needed and roughly what they involve.
For sellers
Fixing a known problem before listing, with paperwork, can make a sale smoother.
What's checked
Floor levels, walls, cracks, crawl space or basement condition, moisture and drainage around the home.
Engineers
For major problems, a structural engineer's report gives an independent assessment. Some lenders or buyers ask for one.
Sinkhole concerns
In parts of East Tennessee underlain by limestone, depressions in the yard or sudden settling may need a closer look; see limestone and sinkholes.
Photos and measurements
Ask for a written summary with photos and measurements.
Older homes
Older homes often show some settling. An inspection helps separate old, stable movement from active problems.
Timing
During a home purchase, inspection windows are short, so request quickly.
