Frequently Asked Questions

Most residential foundation evaluations in the Triangle range from $750 to $1,250 depending on home size, crawl space accessibility, and report scope. We provide a flat-fee quote upfront with no hidden charges, and the PE-stamped report is included.

Most residential foundation evaluations take 1-2 hours on-site, depending on the size and accessibility of the home. The PE-stamped report is delivered within 1-2 business days after the visit.

Yes. A professional foundation evaluation can uncover hidden issues that a general home inspection might miss, including differential settling, active cracking, and moisture intrusion that affect long-term value and safety.

No. Many hairline and shrinkage cracks are cosmetic and pose no structural risk. Horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks wider than 1/4 inch, and cracks with displacement are the ones that warrant a licensed PE evaluation.
