Structural & Foundation Inspections in central and southern West Virginia
Structural & Foundation Inspections
Cosmetic problems are negotiable. Structural problems change whether you buy the house at all. West Virginia's hillsides, mining history and older block foundations make foundation evaluation more than a formality here.
What we evaluate
Foundation walls, footings and visible framing · settlement and differential movement · crawl space conditions, supports and moisture · grading and drainage as it affects the structure · roof structure and attic framing · signs of past repair and whether it held.
Regional risk factors
- Hillside lots - in South Hills, Loudon Heights and Fayette County move over time; drainage decides how fast.
- Former mining areas - in southern WV can have subsidence history worth knowing about before you buy.
- River-valley soils - in the Kanawha and Ohio valleys expand, contract and settle unevenly.

When to order one
Visible cracks in block or brick · doors and windows that stick or won't latch · sloped or bouncy floors · a crawl space you've never actually looked into · or a general inspection that flagged something and recommended a closer look.
Pricing
An add-on service priced by square footage, quoted and approved before we start. Frequently paired with thermal imaging, which can reveal moisture driving the movement.
