Why It Is Important To Get Your Foundation Inspected Saginaw, MI
Many homeowners don’t like the thought of having to invest in foundation repairs. This is because repairing a foundation can be costly. Some therefore take shortcuts and apply cosmetic solutions to foundation problems. However, this only results in the problem becoming worse. The eventual cost of repair in turn increases.
The right approach to repairing your foundation is to have it inspected regularly. This will help you catch problems in their early stages. Applying solutions in the early stages is often affordable.
The question many homeowners ask is ‘How often should you have your foundation inspected?’. The answer is that it depends. There are several instances when you should have your foundation inspected.
1. Periodic maintenance inspections
These inspections are part of your home maintenance schedule. You should schedule an inspection once every 5 to 7 years even if your foundation does not show obvious signs of damage. These inspections will help you identify issues in your foundation before they become serious.
2. When you notice foundation cracks
Foundation cracks are often one of the first noticeable signs of foundation damage. These cracks can appear anywhere in the foundation including the ceiling, walls, exterior walls and even the floor. Don’t wait for the cracks to show signs of water seepage to take them seriously. It is important to have the foundation inspected to determine the root cause of the cracks as soon as possible. This will help you avoid severe foundation damage that would require extensive and expensive repair. 
3. When you notice slanted or sloping floors
Are your floors sloping or slanting? This is often a sign of foundation movement. It is important to have your foundation inspected to establish whether the movement has caused structural problems. It is also important to seek a solution to prevent further movement as this could cause even more damage throughout your home.
4. When you want to buy or sell a house
If you plan to sell your home, you should ensure that it is in the best condition possible so that you can get maximum value from the sale. If you want to buy a house, you should have the home inspected to ensure that you’re not buying a house with problems that could be very expensive to repair.
Be sure to invest in regular foundation inspection for the safety and structural integrity of your home.
