Zip Level Inspection

The purpose of this inspection is to evaluate the foundation and determine if further evaluation by a professional engineer is necessary. The foundation is visually inspected and a floor elevation survey is performed. Interior floor elevations are taken with a Technidea Pro-2000 Ziplevel. Elevations are recorded to the nearest 0.1-inch throughout the home. A benchmark of 0.0 is established near the center of the home and then measurements are taken outward towards the four corners of the foundation. The opinions contained within the evaluation will be based on the experience and judgment of the inspector who performed the foundation survey and take into consideration the structures geographic location and accumulated affect of normal seasonal movement, as well as, conditions observed without taking soil samples, removing floor or wall coverings, or performing invasive tests or procedures.
