What an evaluation may look at
An evaluation may include visible interior and exterior symptoms, floor elevation differences, door and window alignment, masonry cracking, crawlspace conditions for pier-and-beam homes, and drainage around the structure. The exact process depends on the property and the symptoms present.
Why elevation patterns matter
Foundation movement is three-dimensional. A crack can show that movement occurred, but measurements and the broader symptom pattern help show where the structure may have moved relative to other areas. That context is important before deciding where support or correction may be needed.
Bring previous records
If the home has prior repair paperwork, engineering reports, plumbing test results, drainage work, or transferable warranty documents from previous contractors, have them available. Prior information can help prevent assumptions and can show whether movement is new, recurring, or related to an older repair zone.
Richardson repair permitting
If the evaluation leads to repair, Richardson's published foundation-repair requirements call for an outline of proposed work and a report signed and sealed by a Texas Licensed Engineer as part of the permit process. Confirm current requirements with the city for the specific job.
