INSPECTION REPORTS
Jensen Engineers highly
recommends you specify at least a Level B foundation evaluation
when purchasing a property or evaluating for possible repairs. This
type of report will include the following:
OBSERVATIONS:
|
Exterior |
Observation of cracking, irregular
brick lines, separations at doors, windows and frieze
boards, large tree locations, drainage characteristics
adjacent to the foundation perimeter. Check for evidence of
prior repair.
|
| Interior |
|
Documentation of drywall cracking patterns across walls and
ceilings, distressed tape, door misfits, separations at walls,
corners and ceilings and a relative elevation survey.
|
|
CONCLUSIONS |
|
Includes an Engineering opinion of any foundation or drainage
issues, citing possible causes, if appropriate. Determination
of tree root drying issues, as appropriate.
|
|
RECOMMENDATIONS: |
|
Includes a plan of repair, showing pier locations and
specifications, drainage system design as needed, tree removal
or root barrier placement and any other relevant information.
This information will be in a format from which your contractor
can offer a bid on necessary work. |
