Structural & Foundation Inspections: Strength Starts Below the Surface

A solid foundation is the backbone of every safe home. Over time, even small cracks, shifting soil, or drainage problems can lead to structural movement that affects everything above it. A structural inspection focuses on the areas where problems start — before they become costly repairs.

As a certified home inspector serving West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia, I perform detailed foundation and structural inspections that evaluate:

• Visible foundation cracks or movement

• Framing and support beams

• Roof structure and load-bearing walls

• Signs of water intrusion or settlement

If issues are found, I clearly document them and provide practical guidance on what to do next. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just maintaining your property, a focused structural inspection helps protect your investment from the ground up.
