Home/Foundation inspection Madison MS

Agreed. That is why in my first post I recommended a licensed engineer that I know and trust.
To the original poster, PM me if you have any more detailed questions. I may be able to point you in the right direction if it is not too late.....

By coincidence, I just found out that Mr. Halfacre, whom I have never heard of until this post, will be speaking at a professional luncheon that I am supposed to attend next week.

Just as an update, I went to the luncheon today and heard Mr. Halfacre speak and I can say that I wouldn't hesitate to use his services.

He was going to do it on friday but is going to a CE so I had to move it to next week. Prices are not as bad as I expected.

I have not gotten the report back yet but Mr. Halfacre called me on the way to my house to tell me he would be a little late. What suprised me was that I ordered a home inspection and a structural inspection and the cost was 620$. For all I know the house is level as can be but I wanted some assurance. He said that he was not going to charge me for the structural unless he thought it was necessary from the looks of the house. I dont think that there are that many people still around in that busisness that would try to save you money like it seems he is doing for me ( I was prepared to pay for the sturctural and told him that). Like I said I have not gotten the report back but seems to be a real ethical guy.

Damn, I should have been a home inspector......$620???


He does put together a pretty little report. I got one sitting on my desk now.

Just the home inspection is like 350 or 375 which aint bad. The other 300 is the structural inspection of the foundation and drainage of the property. I think it is worth it.

I can tell you who not to use..........

They did my house before I bought it, I had to have some warranty foundation work done and it took them forever to come out and get the work done. Now, I need more foundation work done and so I called them because they had been there before. It took them a week to come out and look at the property and make an inspection, but it took me hounding them for 3 months to get their proposal.

To say the least, I won't be using them in the future. Next month, after giving this new french drain I installed time to dry out some of the soil under my house, I'm going to get some new quotes for foundation repair. So, if any of you know a good foundation company that will be looking for work in May, let me know.

Peace of mind about your foundation is worth a lot more than $300. When you buy or sell a house, you will spend many times that on realtors, lawyers, and bankers and have little or nothing to show for it.
