Foundation & Water Intrusion Inspection 

|. 

The home at the address listed above was measured for foundation 

settlement, foundation wall deflection, primary weight bearing beam or 

wall integrity, and was also inspected for water intrusion issues. The 

following is a brief summary of my findings, professional 

recommendations, and an estimate for repairs to be performed by 

Foundation Specialist if needed. 

Build: 1965. 

Foundation Type: Poured Concrete 

Foundation Settlement: Measured in inches and/or fractions of inches of 

movement from original position. The home was measured for 

foundation settlement using a self leveling laser with measures taken off 

from floor joists, main level floors, garage ceilings, base, and floors. The 

home does show a break in the rear wall where the breezeway joins the 

standard basement floor and a point in the front corner of the garage 

where the breezeway meets the garage. The laser measures show the 

rear corner of the breezeway has settled by 1" which is a concern but at 

the same time is not so bad that it would require immediate structural 

stabilization. A recommendation is being made to poly level the front 

two driveway slabs and the garage slab in order to alleviate the water 

intrusion into the garage. 

It is the roof run off water that is causing the 

breezeway and garage to settle and although this settlement has 

occurred 

it is possible to slow or even stop future settlement if the voids 

= 

under the driveway and garage were to be filled. 

Note: A new steel roof has been added to the home which has caused 

the slope or angle to be inches above the existing gutters. The roof 

runoff waters are completely jumping over the gutters and thereby

referral partner is being offered to install said gutters: Art Strudwick: 

Klein Gutters (517) 775-6936 or 3D Gutters (517) 416-6161. 

Foundation Wall Deflection: Measured in inches and/or fractions of 

inches of movement inward or outward from the walls original location. 

No wall deflection at this time. 

Primary Weight Bearing Beam or Wall & Associated Joist Integrity: 

Described in terms of settling or sagging from original positions and 

also takes into account the conditions of the joists themselves. The 

primary weight bearing beam does measure about 1/2" down which is 

why the ceiling on the main floor is cracked. This is a fulcrum point in 

the home as the basement stairway, porch cap, and breezeway all 

converge on this location. 

Water Intrusion: The following describes whether or not the home is 

taking on water through the floor/wall/footer seams or up through cracks 

in the basement floor. (Hydrostatic pressure) This inspection category 

may also describe water coming in through window wells or frames and 

poorly designed or no eaves troughs or downspouts at all. No concerns 

at this time.
