No, foundation inspections are generally non-intrusive. This means they do not require demolition or major excavation. Heneault Gosselin’s experts use visual assessments and specialized tools to examine the foundation without damaging your property.
Here’s what a non-intrusive inspection typically includes:
- Visual observation: inspecting interior and exterior walls, basement, and floors.
- Analysis of visible signs: checking for cracks, moisture, distortion, or structural shifts.
- Measuring tools: such as laser levels, moisture meters, or movement sensors, all used without altering the structure.
In rare situations, a deeper investigation may be suggested, but this is always discussed with the homeowner beforehand. For a reliable and non-invasive assessment of your foundation, contact Heneault Gosselin.
