What inspections & reports looks like on site
Not every crack needs repair. Some are cosmetic, some are old and stable, and monitoring is a legitimate recommendation. A report that says so is more useful than one that finds work on every visit, and we would rather tell you the house is fine.
Real estate transactions are where these reports matter most. A measured, photographed report from somebody who will also do the work is what lets a buyer, a seller and a lender agree on what is actually wrong and what it costs.

FAQ
What does inspections & reports involve? Common questions
What does a foundation inspection involve?
A floor-level survey with a laser or a manometer to measure how far and where the house is out of level, a look at every crack inside and out, moisture readings in the crawl space or basement, and a check of the drainage around the house. It produces a written, photographed report that says what is moving, how much, and what to do about it — or that nothing needs doing.
Should I get a foundation inspection before buying a house?
On any house with visible cracks, a slope in the floor, or a crawl space, yes. A general home inspection notes symptoms; a foundation inspection measures them and tells you what the repair would cost. It is a small fee on a purchase this size, and it is the difference between a negotiating point and a surprise.
