Detailed Recommendations

Notice the attention to detail in the sample Exterior Maintenance Recommendations section!

EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATONS

DRAINAGE
Properly adjust the slope of earth, concrete, driveway/s, asphalt, etc. at all sides of the structure. With soils, provide a minimum drop of 1/2" for every foot away from the foundation to a point 10' away from the foundation or to the lot line, whichever is less (WI DSPS 321.12). Concrete, asphalt, etc.: ¼” per foot. Correct and maintain these conditions to help minimize the risk and consequences of hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls. Improper drainage and poorly maintained mortar joints will lead to seepage and structural problems

Foundation Inspection FAQs

When do you need a licensed & qualified
basement/foundation inspection -VS- a home inspection?

  • ReFi’s. Are you refinancing your home?
    • Our concise, lender/bank-friendly report is a qualified documentation of the basement inspection performed by Donn Anderson, a licensed UDC Construction inspector.
    • Digitally created.
    • Inspected and delivered by Donn Anderson, a licensed UDC Construction inspector.
  • Need Post Home Inspection Futher Evaluation?
    • If a Home Inspector calls out for “Further Evaluation” because they are not qualified to diagnose it, you can call us. We are qualified and licensed!
  • Pre-listing Inspection
    • Before you put your house on the market you may want a thorough and qualified basement inspection to help 'sell' your home.

What separates Anderson Foundation Inspection from other inspectors?

  • Home Inspectors are not required to and typically are not qualified to provide a Lender accepted Foundation Report.
  • I am a licensed UDC Construction inspector qualified beyond basic basement inspections.

  • Basement cracking or seepage discovered? You can trust that our Anderson Foundation Inspection service evaluates issues per the WAFRP standards which has been adopted by the UBC (Uniform Building Code). I am more qualified than a Home Inspector, less than a Structural Engineer (SE), who can perform Site-Specific Engineering. If you aren’t sure if you need a SE's report, contact our office to help you understand the difference and determine which is the best choice for you. Most older basements don’t need a SE’s report, but some do. A SE will do what I do, then determine if your needs require site-specific engineering to achieve a stabile basement. Call to see if our service would be the best place for you to start. We’ll never over-sell you on services you need.

Donn was amazing he spent three hours on my inspection and picked out every small detail that was wrong with my house down to the batteries in the smoke detector.

This is the second time we have used Anderson Home Inspection! we have gone back to them as they are extremely detailed in their work and when making a significant purchase like a new home, you want to make sure you know everything that you can about it.

Adam BAdam BMilwaukee Area

Donn is very knowledgeable, honest, and very professional. We enjoyed working with him and look forward to doing more business in the future. He arrived very early, did a thorough job and came very prepared.

Kiesha TKiesha TSoutheastern Wi

Donn Anderson was the ideal service provider for us… as he was able to handle mold inspection and radon inspection along with the home inspection work. We learned a lot about the property, including information that’s been helpful post-move-in, and benefited from Donn’s experience.

Benjamin BBenjamin BGreater Milwaukee

The best inspection experience I have ever had! Donn is very knowledgeable and informative as to issues with the house and how to best resolve them. I learned a lot and enjoyed his company. His report was very extensive with well detailed photos of issues noted. It was the best inspection experience I have ever had. Thank you Donn!!
