You are inspecting the foundation of the structure. What should
you be looking for? Do you pay particular attention to what you see
on the outside when you look for issues in the basement. How much does
grading on the structure really matter. Should you think differently
when looking at a poured basement wall vs concrete block?
This plus many more questions will be answered. You will also
find a few more questions below and we hope our speaker is going to
answer them all as well as any you might have.

Jim is going to go through what we should be looking for as well as WAFRP
(
www.wafrp.com) standards. Wisconsin Association of Foundation Repair
Professionals.
1. What should you be looking for?
2. Do you pay attention to both the outside and the inside?
3. How should you be evaluating the structure?
4. What deflection in a basement wall should be called out?
5. What about cracking?
Step, horizontal, shear
6. How much is to much?
The more we ask the more we learn. Attend this event and learn
from an industry expert on not only the basics but get some tips on how
important the foundation is and what we need to be telling our customers
when we see or not see issues.
