The Real Seal, LLC Offering Free Foundation Inspections for Home Buyers

BARRINGTON, Ill. - June 27, 2014 - PRLog -- A home inspection that hints at a major problem in a home's construction, but isn't actually a cause of concern, can cause a prospective homeowner lots of unneeded stress. This is why The Real Seal, LLC, a Chicago-area foundation repair company, is now offering free foundation inspections for people hoping to buy a home -- just in time for summer.

"Many people experience trouble with home inspectors who are not familiar with issues in the foundation," says Austin Werner, owner of The Real Seal, LLC. "The 'better safe than sorry' approach is often taken, and can cause quite a scare and worry to homeowners that may only have a slight problem, if one at all."

Home inspectors have been known to point out problems in a foundation that aren't major issues in need of repair, Werner says. This leads many prospective homeowners to unnecessarily worry about the repairs their house will need.

"One such example was an inspector's report that noted water stains over the top of the foundation as a seepage issue that needed to be fixed," he says. "When we got there, we found that the stains were the original stains from when the foundation was poured at the time of construction. We wrote them up a report reflecting this, and they were able to follow through with the sale without further issue."

Because spring and summer are the most popular seasons for buying a new home, Werner says now is a great time to take advantage of The Real Seal, LLC's free foundation inspection offering.

"Spring and summer are common times for home inspectors to identify more problems," Werner says. "Mostly, this is because homes tend to sell better during this time, and if an inspector doesn't find anything, they will usually write something down anyway."

Werner says that homeowners and hopeful home buyers alike are welcome to take advantage of this opportunity to have a company experienced in examining foundations look at their home.

"Do not panic if this happens to you. We deal with it often and know what the selling and buying homeowners and homeowners-to-be are going through," he says.
