The condition of the exterior elements can affect the interior of a home. If you have issues with the drainage system, it can impact on the walls and foundation as well as the floor. When inspecting the foundation, we will check both inside and outside to assess the visible areas. The reason to inspect the foundation from inside it’s because there may be elements visible from the inside which show signs of a deteriorating or failing foundation, but you can’t see them from outside. You may have cracks on the foundation visible from the inside, but they aren’t seen from the outside. Top Home Inspection technicians can also enter the crawlspace if it’s safe to do so in order to check the foundation.
