You probably know the visible signs indicating a problem with your home’s foundation. But you think to yourself, “That crack has been there for the longest and there is no sign that it’s getting worse. Maybe it’s not a foundation issue.” So you hold off on doing anything about it.
 GLP Foundation Repair can ease the burden for you. GLP provides a five phase inspection that can reveal the status of the concrete slab under your home. These inspections provide the information needed for the homeowner to make the best decision possible.

The first phase of the inspection is to measure the exterior of your home. The perimeter is measured and close inspections are made of the fascia boards, the casing of windows and doors and the brick walls. The cracks will be obvious, but sometimes the separation around these materials goes unnoticed. Likewise, the wall of brick exterior could be buckling inward or bulging outward. Here are other more easily detectable problems.

The second phase performed by our qualified and experienced staff is to draw the layout of your home and measure the elevations. Yes, your floor has different elevations. There is no way to know whether it was poured that way. To get an idea of what is measured, think of it as if water were poured into your home until the highest point of your floor is just barely covered with water. (No, we don’t actually pour water into your house!) From that highest point, there will be some spots where the water is barely covering the floor, some where the water is a quarter of an inch deep, perhaps even an inch or two. All elevations are measured, giving our experts an accurate reading of your exterior, interior and flooring.

Then, phase three is the analysis of this data. Our foundation experts compare the external with the internal data and make the best informed estimation of any problems that might exist with the slab.
The fourth phase involves the customer. Our experts walk you around and through the house while showing the detailed diagram of the inspection. Sometimes there are no problems with the foundation. Many problems are cosmetic (without affecting the integrity of the foundation structure) or indicate home maintenance that is needed. Our proven professionals will help the customer understand the cost of any repair and will explain how other bids appear to provide great savings.
