Free Foundation Inspection in Montgomery, AL

Many foundation repair companies offer a free initial inspection, and Montgomery Foundation

Repair Co is no exception. A free foundation inspection in Montgomery, Alabama gives you a

professional assessment of your home’s structural health without any financial commitment.

This article explains what the free inspection includes and how to schedule one.

What the Free Inspection Covers

Our free inspection is not a quick walk‑around. A trained technician spends 45 to 90 minutes

examining your foundation inside and out. We use a digital level to measure floor slopes, a

crack monitor to assess movement, and a moisture meter to check for excess humidity in

crawl spaces or basements. We inspect brick veneer for stair‑step cracks, check gutters and

downspouts, and look for signs of water pooling. You receive a verbal summary on the spot,

plus a written report with photos within 24 hours. There is no obligation to buy any repair

services.

No Hidden Fees or Pressure

Some companies offer “free” inspections but then charge for a written report, or they use

high‑pressure sales tactics to sign a contract immediately. Montgomery Foundation Repair Co

does neither. Our inspection is truly free. We provide the written report at no charge. We explain

your options, including which repairs are urgent and which can wait. If you decide to hire us,

great. If you want to get a second opinion, we encourage that. Our reputation is built on trust,

not pressure.

What You Learn from the Inspection

After the inspection, you will understand: whether your foundation is actively settling; the

severity of any cracks; moisture levels in your crawl space or basement; the condition of floor

joists and beams; and recommended repairs with estimated costs. You will also learn what you

can do yourself (e.g., improving drainage) to prevent future problems. Many homeowners are

relieved to find that their “major foundation problem” is actually minor and needs only

monitoring. Others are grateful to catch serious settlement early.

How to Schedule

Scheduling a free foundation inspection is easy. Call Montgomery Foundation Repair Co at

(334) 835-5928. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. We typically

schedule inspections within one week. Evenings and weekends are available upon request.

You do not need to prepare anything—just let us know when you are home. We will confirm by

phone or email. The inspection itself is fast and minimally disruptive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the free inspection really free?

Yes. No charge, no hidden fees, no obligation. We believe in earning your business by providing value upfront.

How long does the inspection take?

45 to 90 minutes depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the foundation. Crawl space inspections take longer because we need to access tight areas.

Do I need to be home for the inspection?

Yes, someone over 18 should be present to allow interior access. If you cannot be home, we can reschedule.

Can you provide an estimate over the phone without an inspection?

No. Every foundation is different, and we cannot quote prices without seeing your specific situation. The free inspection is necessary to give an accurate estimate.
