What We Inspect
A thorough foundation inspection covers both what’s visible from inside the home and what’s accessible below grade:
- Exterior foundation walls — cracks, bowing, spalling, moisture staining
- Interior walls and ceilings — crack patterns that indicate foundation movement
- Doors and windows — sticking, misalignment, gaps at frames
- Floors — slope, soft spots, visible sag
- Crawl space (if accessible) — pier condition, beam and joist integrity, moisture levels, vapor barrier status, mold or pest evidence
- Basement (if applicable) — wall cracks, water infiltration, floor cracks
- Exterior grading and drainage — slope away from foundation, gutters and downspout discharge

FAQ — Foundation Inspection in Macon, GA
How long does a foundation inspection take?
Most residential inspections take 45–90 minutes depending on the size of the home and the complexity of what we find. Homes with accessible crawl spaces take longer than slab foundations.
Is a foundation inspection the same as a home inspection?
No. A general home inspector covers the entire home at a surface level — foundation, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing. A foundation specialist inspection goes much deeper on the foundation specifically, including crawl space access, crack measurement, and structural evaluation that a general inspector is not qualified to perform.
Should I get a foundation inspection before buying a home in Macon?
Yes. Macon's clay soil makes foundation movement common throughout Bibb County. A foundation specialist inspection before purchase — especially for homes built before 1990 or in neighborhoods with pier-and-beam construction — can reveal issues a general home inspector will miss. The cost of skipping it can run into the tens of thousands.
What if the inspection finds a serious problem?
You'll know exactly what it is, what it will cost to fix, and how urgent the repair is. Some findings are serious but not urgent — you can plan and budget. Others require prompt attention. In either case, you leave with a written assessment in hand, which gives you negotiating leverage in a real estate transaction or a clear path forward as a current homeowner.
Do I need a permit for foundation repair in Macon-Bibb County?
Minor crack repairs typically don't require a permit. Structural repairs — including piering, underpinning, and wall stabilization — generally do require a permit from Macon-Bibb County Development Services. We handle permit applications as part of the job on all permitted work.
