The inspection is the product. Everything else follows it.
Most companies inspect to sell piers. We measure to find the truth — and about half the time, the truth is “monitor it, water the foundation, fix the gutters.” Diagnosis before repair, every time.
What actually happens
Five stops, one clear picture.
Exterior walk
Brick and mortar joints, frieze boards, caulk lines, expansion joints, corners. We photograph and measure every crack — width, direction, location — because the pattern tells us which way the slab is moving.
Interior observations
Doors and windows (which stick, which corners), drywall cracks above openings, tile and flooring, baseboards pulling from floors. You walk with us — we want you seeing what we see.
Floor elevation survey
A ZipLevel altimeter reads relative floor heights across the whole slab, on a grid. This is the heart of the inspection: feelings lie, slopes mislead, but a 40-point elevation map doesn't.
Moisture context
Drainage paths, gutters and downspouts, grading, trees within root-reach of the slab, irrigation, and plumbing red flags (unexplained warm spots, high bills, constantly damp soil).
The straight answer
Same visit, you get the picture in plain English: stable, monitor, or repair — with the elevation map to justify it. If repair makes sense, you get a marked pier plan and a firm price. If not, you get advice and we leave.
From real inspections
What we photograph and measure.
Every crack gets documented — width, direction, location — because the pattern, read against the elevation map, is what separates cosmetic from structural.
The elevation map
Your floor, in numbers nobody can argue with.
Every inspection produces a relative elevation map like this one. Green is level; red is the low corner. The pattern — not any single number — reveals whether movement is settlement, heave, or nothing at all.
It also becomes your baseline. If we recommend monitoring, the next survey (also free) shows exactly what changed. If we repair, the before/after maps document the lift for your records — and your future buyer’s inspector.
