Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I have my foundation inspected even if there are no visible cracks?

It’s wise to have your foundation inspected even if there are no visible cracks, as many structural issues develop silently. Unstable soil, poor initial construction, or environmental changes can affect a home’s stability long before symptoms appear.

Reasons to consider a preventive inspection include:

  • Early detection of soil movement: settling or heaving may begin before visible cracks form.
  • Prevention of costly damage: addressing small issues early avoids major repairs later.
  • Assessment of overall condition: foundations may have hidden moisture, erosion, or wear.
  • Peace of mind: a professional evaluation confirms stability or highlights concerns to monitor.

Even if your home appears sound, a specialist assessment helps catch problems before they escalate. To schedule a preventive inspection, contact Heneault Gosselin.
