Why should we care about all of this technical building code and home inspection standards?
Every house has a foundation. Even a house on a concrete slab has a foundation. And a solid foundation is the cornerstone of a safe, stable, and healthy home. Foundation problems can lead to costly repairs and compromise the structural integrity of the entire house. Understanding foundation basics empowers homeowners to make informed decisions about their home’s maintenance and potential repairs. That’s why every home should be inspected by an InterNACHI® certified home inspector. Home inspectors educate homeowners, homebuyers, renters, home builders, and contractors on how a home is to be built and maintained so that our homes are safe, functional, and healthy.
