CMU, Brick and River Rock Foundations And What You Need To Know!
Saturday, 12 April, 2025
Send us a textJohn Laforme and YC with SoCal Seismic Foundation discuss the pros and cons of CMU (concrete masonry unit), brick and River rock foundations. They note that many older CMU foundations are hollow and difficult to retrofit, while brick foundations are often unreinforced and non retrofit-able. They emphasize the importance of inspecting for anchor bolts and rebar, which indicate a foundation's structural integrity. They also discuss the high cost of foundation replacements, averaging $85,000, and the challenges of dealing with historical homes. The conversation highlights the need for proper training and education for inspectors and the importance of working with specialists for foundation repairs.Support the showListener Feedback Is Always Welcome and Appreciated.Is there a particular topic I have not covered on the show that you want to hear?You can become a supporter of the show by clicking this link below, become a supporter and get a shout out on the next podcast episode.https://www.buzzsprout.com/1838062/supportPlease feel free to email me what type of topics you are interested in as well as any other tips to improve your listening experience. john@homeinspectionauthority.com 🔴 Please Subscribe To My YouTube Channel to receive updates on the video version of the podcasts and hundreds of real home defect videos I find during actual home inspections as well as how to maintain your home videos:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXzxEH5J8y5EW1lZ3LtDB0A?sub_confirmation=1 🟢 If you are in the Los Angeles area and are in the process of buying a home I am available to inspect it for you.
