GPR Foundation Assessment in British Columbia

Professional GPR Foundation Assessment

GPR foundation assessment evaluates concrete foundations — walls, footings, and slabs — for structural condition, hidden defects, and moisture issues. The radar images reveal cracks, delamination, voids, and soil saturation that indicate foundation problems. This service is valuable for properties with foundation water entry, settlement concerns, or before foundation repairs. GPR can distinguish between surface cosmetic issues and structural concerns, guiding the appropriate repair approach and documenting conditions for engineering and insurance purposes.
