I've found out what a Radon mitigation system looks like and how they work, and I now know how to check for mold.The 2 big things the inspector found that I hadn't counted on were mold (lots of it) and the root cause of the mold which was a bad part of the foundation which was causing water to enter the basement.

The house does need a small bit of leveling/foundation work but that is not unusual for Central Texas.

I was very interested in looking at the property and ensuring its foundationally ok and repairs would not break the bank.

Most self dealing articles seem to refer to foundations and self-directed IRA's.Have a meeting with my tax attorney next week...Thanks

It'll give you a good foundation to build on.

Need help with a house that the inspector says that I need a foundation engineer to look at.

Repair cost without doing any foundation work might be around $45,000.

It could have a bad foundation, etc.

He then went on and found the cause of it, a crack in the foundation behind a finished wall was causing water to pour into the basement when it was raining.

The obvious of course is a new electrical panel box, new home wiring, yard fence higher than 4', new plumbing and HVAC, new room addition, a new roof or a foundation fix....I get/know that much.
