Re: Foundation repair wording

Recommended "repair with approved materials, and monitor". Also recommended monitoring for new cracks in sheetrock.
That's a mamby-pamby statement that provides no benefit to the client. Most folks can't afford to spend 10 grand or more to have foundation work after the mortgage is paid and the kids have braces.

If the place has just had some foundation work and there are already new cracks then the foundation is still moving.

We're supposed to provide a service to our client. If you're competent, honest and report what you see in a readable, understandable format, you don't have to worry so much about your liabilities. It's hard to win a case against someone who did everything humanly possible( including knowing their craft) to fulfill their obligation to their client.
