HUD & FHA Foundation Inspections
A HUD/FHA Foundation Inspection evaluates whether a residential foundation meets applicable HUD structural requirements for FHA financing. The inspection documents observed foundation conditions, support and anchorage elements, and overall structural performance. Findings are summarized in a signed and sealed engineering certification prepared for lender and underwriting review.
