When looking for a house people consider many things: # of bedroom and bathrooms, traditional or open floor plan, etc. Many people fail to consider one of the most important things, what kind of foundation is it built on? The foundation supports and sustains everything else about the house. If it has a faulty foundation the whole structure will soon crumble. If it has a firm foundation, not only will it stand the tests of time, but you can renovate and improve everything else without fear.
