In Episode 9 Part 1, we welcomed Leo Cannyn from Beryl Engineering onto the podcast. He provided a wealth of knowledge regarding home foundation inspections. This discussion included what a home inspection entails, if a foundation check is part of the inspection process, warning signs that an inspector should look for during a foundation inspection, how foundation issues affect the overall value of a property, along with much more. We hope this information was valuable to you, especially if you recently had a home inspection done or will have one in the near future. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this episode on milestone inspections coming on May 3rd!
