How does San Ysidro's climate affect this service?
South County housing splits between older Chula Vista and National City stock with post-and-pier issues and newer Otay Ranch master-planned slabs with perimeter settlement. San Ysidro work usually requires permit and engineer coordination with the city building department.. We account for local conditions in every job.
What is the difference between this and a home inspection?
A general home inspection looks at 100 systems for 30 seconds each. A foundation inspection focuses entirely on the foundation, floor system, and structural envelope, with measurement and documentation that a general inspection does not produce. Many home inspectors recommend a follow-up foundation inspection when they see cracks or slope.
Will you tell me what is wrong even if you cannot fix it?
Yes. Some inspections find issues outside our scope: termite damage, dry rot, plumbing under-slab leaks, or seismic-retrofit needs. We will name them in the report and refer you to the right specialist.
