I am currently in the option period for a house in the HEB area and looking for a company that would be able to inspect the foundation of this house to see if there are any signs of foundation problems. I am a first time home buyer so this whole process is new to me. The last house I looked at had problems that my inspector found that I missed. Trying to do a better job of inspecting this house.

Anyone have a company they have used or know of who does a good job inspecting of foundations? If there is anything wrong, we plan on asking the sellers to have it fixed as well so having an estimate if there are any problems would be great. That may be common practice, but like I said, I'm a new home buyer so I am learning as I go.

Thanks in advance.

Gary with www.osborneengineering.com

You want a structural engineer for this (NOT a foundation repair company).

Good luck

Always ask for concessions or reduction I sales price, not having the seller perform repairs. The seller will be motivated to get the cheapest work done to comply.

Just use Kevin from Absolute Inspections(posts as Absolute on here).

He'll tell you if you need an engineer.

Tom Kidd at Structured Foundation is an Aggie and gives a nice little discount to Ags. Tom is the owner and he did the inspection on my first house.
