GEOLOGIC OPINION REPORT
Purchasing a hillside property is fraught with many pitfalls. Minimize your risk by obtaining a geologic opinion report as a part of your due diligence. The report will be based on a visit to your property, research performed at the city or county building department of the subject and neighboring properties, review of geologic literature (maps and technical reports), and scrutiny of historical aerial photos.

DISTRESS INVESTIGATION
Treat the cause and not the symptom. Houses should not exhibit continuing symptoms of distress such as cracking in walls, doors that don't close, uneven floors, etc. These problems may be due to any number of causes, one of them being instability of the soils or bedrock under your home. If the underlying problem is not addressed, a fix will only be temporary. The investigation could range from just a brief site visit to performing in-depth subsurface investigations. Our report can provide for an effective repair, insurance documentation, or just peace of mind.
