The FoundationScan® App and Reports were developed by Point Data, Inc. to provide the foundation repair industry with better analytic tools to record and track the status of buildings and their foundations.
The website is designed to help homeowner’s understand how the reports are generated and how the reports can aid in determining if a repair is needed and if so the most appropriate repair.
The Vertical measures changes in elevation along a construction line around the exterior of the building. The Topo shows deviations from flat and the tilt of a floor or slab. The Wall Profile does the same for walls, usually basement walls. The Crack Monitor records changes in cracks, usually in walls.
Each of the reports is described in more detail on the pages for that report.
We enjoy explaining how the system works; please send any questions you may have, and we will try to answer them.
It’s like an X-ray for your home.
system. This process imports data from precise laser measurements, which are then used to create visual representations of your structure’s health each time it’s
scanned. A single scan will accurately display deviations
of floors and walls from their original level (Construction Levels) and flat condition. Repeat scans will display any movement that is actively occurring.
It will take approximately one hour to complete the scan, after which the FoundationScan® Professional will provide you with your report and walk you through the data.
From there you can use that data to get quotes for repairs, submit for an engineering report, or schedule future scans to track ongoing movement.
