A good evaluation is a measured survey: laser floor levels, wall-deflection readings, every crack logged by width and direction, the lot's water path walked and photographed. Ask for it to end in a written, itemized scope, or a documented “monitor it” when that's the truth.
What a good hour covers
- The lot: grading, downspouts, discharge reality; where water lives on flat ground
- The walls: sighted, gauged, and photographed; deflection in inches, not adjectives
- The floors: laser-mapped levels locating any settlement's footprint
- The cracks. Each logged with width, direction, and history questions
- The paper. Ask for systems, counts, itemized prices, timeline and warranty terms in writing
Be wary of countdown pricing and tonight-only discounts. Houses move slowly; honest numbers keep.
