Book your free foundation inspection
Send the form or call (816) 623-4795. The line is answered 24/7, and we call back to set a time.
What should I put in the form?
Your name, a number we can reach you on, the ZIP code of the house and the closest match to what you are seeing: a crack, a bowing wall, sticking doors, water, a sump problem, a sunken porch. The notes box is for anything else, like the age of the house, whether the walls are poured or block, and any closing date. Photos can follow by email.
How soon will someone call me?
A person calls back, usually within the hour during the day. Messages left overnight are returned first thing in the morning, and anything flagged urgent, like water coming in, is returned sooner.
What happens on the day of the visit?
The inspector walks the outside of the house first, then goes down to the basement or crawl space with a laser level, a tape and a flashlight. Expect 45 minutes to an hour and a half, and expect to be shown what was measured and what it means.
What does the written sheet list?
Each repair by item and quantity: how many piers and where, how many straps or anchors on which wall, how many feet of drain, which downspouts, plus any permit fee and engineer's fee on their own lines. Things we noticed but don't think need work are listed too, so you know they were checked.
How long is the price good for?
The sheet states it, normally 30 days. Nothing is booked until you sign, and there is no discount for signing on the spot.
Is there any charge?
No. The inspection and the written price are free. The only possible extra is an engineer's letter, if you or a lender ask for one, and we tell you that fee before ordering it.
Do you cover my town?
Kansas City, Missouri, and the suburbs on both sides of State Line, from Independence, Lee's Summit and Liberty to Overland Park, Lenexa and Leawood. The service area page has the full list.
