The foundation is often viewed as the
most important part of a dwelling. It supports the entire home, its contents and the live load
in it (people). The type of foundation is noted
and then inspected for cracks, settling, water
leaks, and overall condition. Different types of
foundations are prone to different problems, but
all foundations have the same major job, to hold
up the building. All visible and accessible
portions of the foundation are inspected
carefully for defects.
