  • Moisture check and drainage evaluation
  • Crawl space or slab perimeter assessment

Settling vs. a Real Problem

Not every crack means you need piers. Hairline vertical drywall cracks and minor seasonal movement are common in San Antonio clay. Worry when cracks exceed 1/8 inch, grow after rain, form stair-step patterns in brick, or come with sloping floors and doors that will not latch.

The penny test is a quick check: if a penny slides into a crack, schedule an inspection. We map interior and exterior cracks together so repairs target the real failure point, not just the symptom you see in the hallway.

When We Tell You Not to Repair

Roughly one in five inspections ends with an all-clear or maintenance-only plan: soaker hoses in dry months, gutter extensions, grading fixes. We would rather earn trust by saying your foundation is fine than sell piers you do not need. That honesty is why San Antonio homeowners refer us.

Free for Homeowners, Available for Real Estate

Every San Antonio homeowner gets a free inspection with no obligation. We also provide transaction inspections for buyers and sellers who need a documented foundation report before closing.

With 87% of local searches going to map-pack results, choosing a trusted San Antonio inspector matters. We've served Bexar County for 15+ years. Our reports are honest. We tell you when your foundation is fine and when it needs work.

Contractor Inspection vs. Structural Engineer

An independent structural engineer ($350–$800) is the right call for litigation, complex disputes, or when you want zero repair incentive. Our inspection is for homeowners who need a clear diagnosis and a repair quote from a local contractor who will do the work. If we see something beyond our scope, we recommend an engineer. We do not pretend to be one.

What Happens During the Visit

A typical inspection takes 60–90 minutes. We walk the interior checking floor levelness, door alignment, and wall cracks. Outside, we examine the slab perimeter, brick courses, and grading. If you have a crawl space, we go underneath.

You receive a written report within 24 hours with photos, elevation diagram, and a plain-English summary. No pressure to book repair. If your foundation is healthy, we'll say so.
