Start with conditions, not a product
An evaluation near Wilmington has to weigh what sandy, tidal-adjacent ground is doing under the slab against what past storms -- Florence included -- may have already done to the structure.
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
Wilmington evaluation context
Because so much of the Wilmington area sits on low, sandy ground near tidal water, an evaluation often has to account for storm history as much as everyday wear.
