ENGINEERING INSPECTIONS: Our engineering inspections are performed by
R. Michael Gray, P.E. In
performing an engineering inspection largely use the TREC Standards of
Practice for Real Estate Inspectors as a guideline concerning what to
inspect and how to report items in need of repair. The foundation portion
of the report is an engineering evaluation of the
performance of the foundation. In performing the engineering foundation
performance evaluation we use the Texas Section American Society of Engineers
publication, Guidelines for the Evaluation and Repair of Residential
Foundations. For more information concerning foundation
performance evaluations, see our informational website, www.houston-slab-foundations.info.
 | Home Inspections: Our home inspections are usually around 60-pages
in length. They also include an Executive Summary where all the
recommended repairs are listed in one place. Every report includes
digital photographs. The Executive Summary and the digital photographs
make the report more user-friendly. All Home Inspections are E-mailed within 12 hours
of the end of the site visit.

| Buyer's Engineering Foundation Evaluations:
Our Buyer's Foundation Evaluations are specifically designed to address the
foundation performance issues most needed by home buyers; specifically
whether foundation underpinning is necessary or optional, what other options
are available to improve foundation performance and how well foundation
underpinning is likely to work. All Buyer's Foundation
Evaluations are E-mailed within 12 hours of the end of the site visit. This
fast delivery can be invaluable to buyers seeking a second opinion near the
end of their option period.
