01 · OBSERVE THE SIGNS
Start with what the structure and site are telling us
Cracks, floor elevation changes, drainage patterns, and foundation movement provide important clues about how the home is responding to the ground.
Residential Foundation Evaluations
Understand Why a Foundation Is Moving
SUBINCO evaluates foundation performance by combining site observations, floor-level measurements, drainage conditions, and subsurface behavior to identify likely causes of movement and practical next steps.
02 · EVALUATE THE CAUSE
Look at the structure and the ground together
Floor-Level Survey
Wall & Slab Cracks
Drainage Conditions
Foundation Movement
Expansive Clay
Active Zone
Moisture Variations
Site Observations
03 · DEFINE THE NEXT STEP
From symptoms to a practical evaluation
Document Performance
Floor elevations · cracking · drainage · visible movement
Interpret the Cause
Relate structural response to soil behavior, moisture changes, and site conditions
Provide Recommendations
Monitoring · drainage improvements · further investigation · repair considerations
Identify Likely Causes
Distinguish between movement associated with soil, moisture, drainage,
or other site-related conditions.
Document Foundation Performance
Establish a clear record of floor elevations, cracking, and site conditions
for informed decisions and future comparison.
Define Practical Next Steps
Determine whether monitoring, drainage correction, additional investigation,
or repair evaluation is appropriate.
From Visible Symptoms to a Clearer Understanding of Foundation Performance
Foundation movement should be evaluated in context. We combine structural observations, floor-level data, drainage, and soil behavior to help determine what may be happening and what should be considered next.
