Having the foundation inspected helps to make sure that there isn’t anything structurally wrong with the home that will cost you a great deal of money to repair. A foundation inspection is also important if you notice any issues with your own home, such as cracks in the walls or floors, doors and windows that won’t close properly, un-level floors, etc. Lastly, it is a good idea to have your foundation inspected every few years even if you don’t find any issues, just to be safe.
