Foundation-Only Inspections

---

The foundation of a home is its most critical structural component. It supports the entire structure and ensures stability, safety, and long-term durability. Whether you are buying a new home, selling your property, or concerned about changes in your current foundation, a Foundation-Only Inspection from AGS Home Inspections provides targeted insight into the condition of this vital system. This type of inspection focuses exclusively on the foundation, allowing homeowners, buyers, and investors to make informed decisions and protect their investment.

A foundation-only inspection is ideal for situations where the primary concern is the structural integrity of the home, rather than a full property inspection. AGS Home Inspections examines the foundation for cracks, settling, water intrusion, and other signs of stress that could compromise the home’s stability. Our trained professionals assess concrete, masonry, slab-on-grade, and pier-and-beam foundations, identifying issues that may not be visible to the untrained eye. Even small foundation problems can lead to serious consequences over time, including uneven floors, wall cracks, drainage issues, and structural instability.

Homebuyers often request foundation-only inspections when purchasing older homes or properties in areas prone to shifting soil, flooding, or other geological risks. Knowing the condition of the foundation before completing a purchase helps buyers avoid costly surprises and ensures they are making a sound investment. Sellers may also choose a foundation-only inspection prior to listing their home to address issues in advance, boost buyer confidence, and streamline the selling process.

Current homeowners may benefit from a foundation-only inspection if they notice warning signs such as cracks in walls or floors, doors and windows that stick, uneven flooring, or water intrusion in basements or crawl spaces. Early detection allows homeowners to schedule necessary repairs before the problem worsens, ultimately saving money and preserving the home’s structural integrity. Investors and property managers may also use foundation-only inspections to assess properties quickly and ensure the long-term value and safety of their real estate holdings.

AGS Home Inspections provides detailed, professional reports with photos and explanations, making it easy to understand the condition of the foundation. Our inspectors highlight areas of concern, recommend potential repairs, and explain how these issues may affect the overall property. This transparency gives homeowners, buyers, and investors the information they need to make smart, informed decisions.

Ultimately, a foundation-only inspection is a targeted, cost-effective way to assess the health of a home’s most critical system. By focusing exclusively on the foundation, AGS Home Inspections helps clients identify problems early, plan for repairs, and protect their investment. Whether you are buying, selling, or maintaining a property, understanding the foundation’s condition is essential for long-term safety, stability, and peace of mind.
