🏡 Buying new construction? Don’t assume “brand new” means problem-free.

🚨 Just because a house is new doesn’t mean it’s perfect. 🚨

We often find overlooked issues like:
🔹 Foundation cracks & drainage problems
🔹 Sagging floors from undersized framing
🔹 Decks that aren’t properly secured
🔹 Crawlspaces missing moisture protection

These don’t always show up right away—but they can cost BIG later.

💡 A quick structural inspection before you close can save a lot of stress (and money) down the road. Our inspections also help relieve anxiety for both buyers and contractors, especially in areas where code inspections aren’t available.

📩 Message us if you’re buying new construction and want peace of mind before move-in!

🧱 Behind the Walls: What We Really See During Structural Inspections 🧱

After inspecting hundreds of homes, one of the most common issues we run into isn’t fancy or flashy—it’s a lack of proper support.

➡️ Sometimes it’s missing from the start—cut corners during construction, missing beams, or makeshift supports that were never meant to last.

➡️ Other times, it’s lost over time —thanks to poor water management. Water finds its way in, weakens soils, rots framing, and before you know it… the structure is shifting, settling, or worse.

📉 What seems like a small crack or sag could be a sign of something much bigger.

💡 Proper support and smart water control aren’t “extras”—they’re essential.

If you're buying, selling, or living in your home long-term, it's worth getting things checked out. The problems are usually hidden... until they're not.

📢 What to Expect During a Structural Site Inspection 🏗️🔍
Structural site inspections are crucial for ensuring safety, compliance, and quality in every construction project. Whether you're a contractor, engineer, or property owner — here are some common questions you should be ready to answer:

âś… Are materials and workmanship aligned with approved plans?
âś… Has reinforcement been placed correctly before concrete pours?
âś… Are there any cracks, deflections, or signs of distress?
âś… Were all deviations documented and approved?
âś… Is everything built to code (IBC, ACI, ASCE standards)?

🔧 Pro Tip: Always have your drawings, permits, and reports on hand — and make sure access to key structural areas is safe and available.
