Cost Savings

Checklist Tasks

• Inspect wall junctions for new or widening cracks after vibration events.
• Check door and window frames for sticking or misalignment caused by shifts.
• Use a level to detect floor slope changes in affected rooms.
• Examine baseboards for separation from walls or floors.
• Probe foundation walls for fresh spalling or moisture intrusion.
• Test plumbing fixtures for leaks or drainage problems suggesting movement.
• Inspect tile and grout for new diagonal cracks in kitchens and bathrooms.
• Check gaps between countertops and backsplashes for structural flexing.
• Survey exterior brickwork or siding for new stair-step cracks.
• Review crawl space or basement supports for shifted piers or posts.
• Document floor springiness by walking common paths.
• Photograph and date all findings for a baseline record.
