Start with conditions, not a product
A crack that appeared right after a named storm is telling a different story near Wilmington than one that's been stable for years, given how fast this ground saturates and drains.
Build a complete scope
- What was measured, and whether the shallow water table is implicated
- Whether sandy soil has been washed out from under a footing or slab
- Whether the parcel's flood history bears on the repair being proposed
- The method selected and the alternatives considered against it
- District review if the work becomes visible, restoration, and warranty
