Overview
The City of Markham's information sheet on the foundation inspection, next in its residential inspection sequence after the footing inspection and one of a series written for homeowners and builders. It explains that foundations are inspected to confirm structural loads transfer safely to the surrounding soil, resist lateral earth pressure, and control moisture. A provincially qualified building inspector reviews support of footings, footing forms, foundation wall thickness, drainage, insulation, joist and beam support, and anchorage of building frames, matched by a reverse-side deficiency checklist.
