- Bowing or Leaning: Excess moisture in the soil around a home could force the foundation walls inward, causing major structural problems
- Honeycombing: This occurs when aggregate (the small stones in concrete) is not properly vibrated and compacted into the concrete mixture

AmeriSpec takes pride in educating buyers about their future home. See what Jason L. had to say about his inspection!
“Bill was very thorough and he took the time to educate us as well as point out potential pitfalls. He identified risks and explained what it could lead to without scaring us away. No home is perfect you just need to know what [you're] taking on. He identified mold in the attic that was not disclosed and the seller mitigated. I would definitely recommend Bill to anyone.”
