Price

What drives the cost of foundation inspection in Highland Park

  • Who inspects: a contractor or an independent structural engineer
  • Written report or stamped engineering letter
  • Home size and access to walls and crawl spaces
  • Whether a repair design is included
  • Travel and scheduling, such as rush timing for a purchase
  • The age of the home: the typical Highland Park home was built around 1944, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Highland Park

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Highland Park was built around 1944. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

66% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Highland Park building department before work starts.
