Arlington, TX · Free inspection
Ask for a free foundation inspection in Arlington
Tell us a few things about the house. We'll call you back, usually the same business day, and set up a free, no-obligation visit with a foundation company that works in your area.
What to tell us
A few details speed things up: where cracks are and whether they're growing, which doors or windows stick, whether floors feel uneven, and when it started. If you know whether the house sits on a slab or pier and beam, mention it.
Say whether a deadline applies. A sale, a lease change or a lender's request all change how fast the visit should happen.
What comes next
After we speak, a foundation company that covers your area contacts you to schedule. They take readings, explain what they find and leave a written estimate. The visit and the estimate are free, and the decision is yours.
If the house is a rental
Owners and property managers are welcome to ask. Tell us whether the house is occupied, how much notice the tenant should get and who can open the door. The visit usually takes about an hour, and you'll receive the findings in writing, which helps with your records and with any conversation with the tenant.
If a loan is involved
When an appraiser or a lender has flagged a crack, say so and mention the closing date. A written foundation inspection, and an engineer's letter if the lender asks for one, can usually settle the matter without delaying the sale.
A few more tips
Photos help. A couple of pictures of the cracks, taken in daylight with something for scale such as a coin, let the technician see what you mean before arriving. Also note when a problem seems worst: after rain, after a dry spell or all year round.
