Phase One Footing Inspection


Prior to the concrete being poured, my inspector and I walked the entire land to examine the post-tension and rebar placement, footing depth, and plumbing.  It was great to be there and have the inspector explain and point out what they are doing and why they are doing it.  Terminmesh keeps termites from climbing into the house around pipes.  Rebar reinforcement is done on house corners.

The inspector only documented one fix for the footing depth on the right side of the garage but we collected trash in some areas.  One area had a small piece off wood that could potentially cause termite issues down the road.  The inspection lasted one hour.  The builder fixed the issue and went a step further by sending me video clips of the fix.
