Free Foundation Inspection in San Antonio

A free foundation inspection in San Antonio from Motmot means measurements, not a sales visit: a floor elevation survey, crack mapping with photos, a drainage review, and written findings — then a straight answer. Prefer to talk now? (210) 816-0034.

Floor elevation survey

A 40-point map of your slab in tenths of an inch — the objective read on whether anything is actually moving.

Crack mapping with photos

Every crack documented inside and out: width, direction, location.

Drainage & moisture review

Gutters, grading, trees, irrigation — the causes behind most movement.

Written findings

Yours to keep, whatever you decide — including “no repair needed” when that's the truth.

How it works

Three steps, one honest answer.

Book it

Send the form below or call (210) 816-0034. We schedule most inspections within a few days.

We measure

60–90 minutes on site. You walk with the inspector and see what we see, as we see it.

Straight answer

Same visit: stable, monitor, or repair — with the elevation map to justify it, and a firm price only if repair actually makes sense.

Why it’s genuinely free

No commissions on pier count. No urgency theater.

The honest caveat about any contractor’s free inspection — ours included — is the incentive: the inspector works for a repair company. We blunt that the only way that actually works: nobody at Motmot earns more by finding more, and the elevation map, not a pitch, sits at the center of the visit. About half the time the verdict is monitor, water the foundation, or fix the gutters — and we say so and leave.

Straight answers

Free inspection questions, answered straight.

Is the foundation inspection really free?

Yes — genuinely free, including the floor elevation survey and the written summary. No trip fee, no “free estimate but paid evaluation” switch, no minimums.

How long does the free inspection take?

Usually 60–90 minutes for a typical home: about half outside, half inside, with the elevation survey running throughout. You walk with the inspector and see everything as it's found.

What's the catch — will I get a sales pitch?

No pitch. Nobody at Motmot is commissioned on pier count, and about half of our inspections end with “monitor it” or “fix the drainage” rather than a repair quote. If repair does make sense, you get a marked pier plan and a firm per-pier price with no same-day-only discounts.
