New Home Foundations
Foundation Elevation Survey
Owners of newly constructed homes have a unique opportunity to document the original condition of their home's foundation.
The Foundation Elevation Survey provides measurement and documentation of the original level of the foundation. Original data is beneficial when comparing future measurements to determine actual movement of the foundation over time, making it particularly useful in anticipation of the 10 year Major Structural Warranty period which the new home builder should provide. Original elevation measurement is only possible when the foundation is new (preferably within the first one to two years after construction).
The Foundation Elevation Survey results in a topographic representation of the level of the home's foundation plane, recording individual elevation measurements throughout the structure. The graphic information is presented in the Elevation Survey Report provided to the inspection client. Order the Foundation Elevation Survey here.
