#8 Foundation/Drainage

A professional home inspector is able to determine if things like drainage/grading/standing water can or will pose a potential threat to the home you’re looking to buy, your existing home or, maybe even a rental property.

Poor drainage can result in a much larger, and more expensive fix than addressing the root cause. Left unaddressed, water can not only cause erosion to topsoil but also the soil beneath. If water is standing around the foundation of your home after a rain, or watering it can cause the soil to stay damp and eventually lead to extreme settling of your foundation. Over time it can cause cracks to both the interior and exterior of your home which can be very costly to repair.
