Foundation Inspection in Kansas City, KS
Not sure whether that crack or that sloping floor is a real problem? A foundation inspection gives you a straight answer, in writing, with no obligation to have any work done.
When to get a foundation inspection
It is worth having someone look if any of these apply:
- You see new or growing cracks in drywall, brick, or the foundation itself
- Doors or windows have started sticking
- Floors slope, sag, or feel bouncy
- Water comes into the basement or the crawl space is damp
- You are buying or selling a home and want the foundation checked
- A contractor or inspector flagged the foundation and you want a second opinion
You do not need to wait until something is obviously wrong. An inspection now gives you a baseline to compare against later.
What we check during the inspection
A foundation inspection is more than looking at one crack. We walk the whole picture so the cause is clear, not just the symptom.
That includes the interior and exterior of the foundation, the basement or crawl space, the grading and drainage around the house, the condition of downspouts and the sump system, and the doors, windows, and floors throughout the house.
A written report you can act on
After the walkthrough we sit down with you and explain what we found: whether there is movement, what is likely causing it, whether it is still active, and what the options are. You get that in writing along with a estimate if repairs are recommended.
If the foundation is fine, or the issue is cosmetic, we will tell you that plainly. We would rather you know than sell you something you do not need.

How the process works
1. Book a visit
Call or send the form and we set a time to come out.
2. Inspection
The inspection itself: we walk the house inside and out, measure cracks and floor levels, and photograph what matters.
3. Written plan
A clear explanation, the recommended fix, options, and a written price. No pressure.
4. The work
If you decide to move forward, we schedule the repair. If not, the report is yours to keep and use.
How much does a foundation inspection cost
The on-site inspection and the written estimate are free. There is no charge and no obligation to have work done.
- Free on-site inspection for homeowners
- Free written estimate if repairs are recommended
- A fee may apply for formal engineer letters or reports requested for a real estate transaction, which we will quote up front
If you need a stamped structural engineer report for a sale or a permit, we can point you to that; those are billed separately by the engineer.
