Structure

a small white house with the various layers of construction exposed

Most Common Problem

The most commonly found structural problems are cracks in foundation. This can be caused by the use of substandard materials or settlement. Another problem, especially in older homes, is the lack of a vapor barrier.

Preventative Measures

The best way to help prevent structural problems is through annual inspection of your home's foundation and supporting structure. A termite inspection is necessary to ensure that your home stays free of these pesky wood destroyers, which can damage the structure of your home.
