When this service is needed
A foundation expert examination is carried out when there is subsidence, cracking, misalignment, distorted room geometry or other signs that the foundation of a house or extension is not performing correctly. It is important for the client to relate visible signs to the likely nature of the problem as early as possible.
The investigation does not replace the design of strengthening works, but helps document the condition and assess which questions can already be put to the contractor or another party to the dispute.
Questions commonly addressed
- Are there visible signs of foundation deformation?
- How are cracks in the above-ground part related to the foundation's condition?
- Which areas of the house require particular monitoring?
- Which documents and photographs should be prepared before a further inspection?
Practical situations
- diagonal cracks appeared in the house after winter
- there is a dispute about the quality of foundation construction for a private house
What you receive
The result can be a technically structured description of the foundation's condition and related defects. This helps substantiate a formal claim, lawsuit or need for further specialised work.
