What a Foundation Inspection in Aurora Includes
One of our licensed Professional Engineers visits your Aurora property, examines the foundation, basement or crawl-space walls, slabs, drainage, and related framing, and measures deflection, crack widths, and floor elevations where warranted. Findings are documented with photographs and analyzed for structural significance — not just noted visually. You receive a signed, PE-stamped report: findings, root-cause analysis (including soil and drainage contributors), safety flags if any, and specific, prioritized repair recommendations. Reports are accepted by building departments, insurance companies, lenders, and attorneys throughout Colorado.
Signs Your Aurora Home Needs a Foundation Inspection
Call for an inspection if you notice: • Stair-step or horizontal cracks in block or brick walls • Cracks wider than 1/8 inch, or cracks that widen over time • Doors or windows that stick, won't latch, or show gaps at the frame • Sloping, bouncing, or uneven floors • Bowing or leaning basement or crawl-space walls • Gaps between walls and ceilings or floors • Cracks in a slab floor, garage floor, or retaining walls • Persistent moisture or drainage issues near the foundation In Aurora, most of these trace back to expansive soil movement — and early engineering review is far cheaper than repairing advanced damage.
Colorado Expansive Soil — the #1 Cause of Foundation Problems in Aurora
Much of the Front Range, including Aurora, sits on expansive clay that swells with moisture and shrinks in drought, dragging foundations with it. Seasonal movement is normal; structural damage from unmanaged movement is not. Our engineers distinguish cosmetic settlement from active structural distress, identify whether the cause is soil, drainage, or construction defect, and specify the right fix — from grading corrections to underpinning — so you don't pay for repairs you don't need.
Local Expertise for Aurora
Aurora sits on the same expansive clay belt that runs along the Front Range, and its large stock of 1950s–1970s housing makes foundation movement, settling additions, and undersized remodel framing recurring issues. Our engineers work with the metro's building departments every week, so local submittal expectations — and the common foundation patterns — are familiar ground.
