Disclaimer

General information only

Nothing on this site is a diagnosis of your house. A page can describe what a crack or a sticking door often means. Only an inspection can say what is happening to a particular foundation, and only a licensed engineer can give an engineering opinion on it.

No verdict on your home

This site does not tell anyone that a house is, or is not, fit to occupy. If part of a building has moved suddenly, a wall or chimney appears ready to fall, or you smell gas, leave and call 911 or the gas utility.

Local rules

Permit, licensing and disclosure rules described here were read on official sources on November 10, 2026. They can change. The city, the Texas Real Estate Commission and the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors are the authorities, not this site.

Soil and geology

Statements about soil and bedrock come from the federal soil survey and the U.S. Geological Survey state geologic map. Those maps are broad. They do not describe the fill, grading or conditions on an individual lot.

Photos

Images on this site are illustrations made for it. They do not show actual jobs, customers, engineers or contractors.

Not legal, insurance or engineering advice

For advice on a sale, a contract, an insurance policy or a structural question, consult the appropriate licensed professional.
