HouseIt methodology

How HouseIt approaches foundation & cracks problems

The page should distinguish visible patterns from a structural diagnosis and make monitoring/escalation explicit. This cluster is organized by decision type—diagnosis, severity, sizing, repair-versus-replace or selection—so several long-tail questions can use one deeper engine rather than generating duplicate tools.

What information changes the result

Common decision inputs in this cluster include foundation crack, wall movement, settlement, stair-step crack, horizontal crack, uneven floor, sticking doors, moisture. HouseIt asks for these progressively and keeps unknown values explicit.

Where an online check stops

Never state that a structure is safe based only on an online check.
