Floor Level Survey from Experienced Professionals that Have No Reason to Recommend Fixes that You Don't Need
The Purpose of Floor Level Survey
A Floor Level Survey is a crucial first step in maintaining your property’s stability and safety. Over time, various factors can cause your foundation to shift, leading to uneven floors, cracks in walls, and other structural issues. At My Foundation Repair Consultant, we specialize in identifying these problems early, providing accurate assessments to stop homeowners from paying for work they don’t need, and helping them prevent minor issues from becoming major headaches. Please understand that no flooring system is placed or built completely level. It is not uncommon to find ¾ to 1” relative difference from the high point in your home to the low point. Elevation differences tell part of the story, damage and patterns of movement along with soil testing tell the whole story.
A Floor Level Survey involves a detailed examination of your property’s foundation. We do this with a device called a manometer. The manometer is a water level that allow us to take numeric readings on top of your floor. With this information we create a topographic mapping to decern patterns of movement. We aim to fully understand your foundation’s condition and recommend necessary repairs without pushing for unnecessary ones. This service helps ensure peace of mind and your home’s long-term stability.
