Fort Worth, TX · Free inspection
Request a free foundation inspection in Fort Worth
Tell us about the house and what you've noticed. We call back — usually the same business day — and arrange a free, no-obligation visit with a foundation company that works in your part of the city.
Useful things to mention
The age of the house and whether it sits on a slab or on piers with a crawl space are the most useful details; if you aren't sure, a raised floor with a vent or access panel usually means a crawl space. Mention where the cracks are, which doors or windows stick and when you first noticed them.
If the house is on a hill or near a creek, or if water collects in the yard, say so. Those details change how the inspection is planned.
What happens next
We call to confirm the details. A foundation company that covers your area then contacts you to schedule, takes elevation readings, explains what it finds and leaves a written estimate. The visit is free and you decide what to do next.
Buying, selling or renting
If a sale, a lease or a lender is involved, tell us the dates. Option periods and closing dates change how quickly the visit should happen, and we'll pass that on to the company.
If your house is a historic or restored one
Tell us. A company that works on older houses will plan the visit and any repair to preserve original framing and finishes, and it will bring the right questions about moisture, wood and shims.
If the lot is on a hill or near a creek
Say so, and describe where water goes during heavy rain. On sloped lots and near creeks, drainage is often the biggest part of the answer, and it helps the inspector to know what you've already seen.
Helpful photographs
A few daylight photos of the cracks, with a coin beside them for scale, and one or two of the outside walls let the technician see what you mean before arriving.
