ALL CHANGES REQUIRE Aledo, Texas 76008 APPROVAL OF REVISED CC 817-374-3559 PLANS NORTIER ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS 11C Initial Report for Foundation Assessment Date: June 19. 2025 APPROVED PLANS SHALL BE KEPT ON JOBSITE AT ALL TIMES Attention: Structured Foundation Repair (The Client) Subject: Foundation Review 826 Wildwood Ln., Grapevine, Texas Authorization and Scove: Nortier Engineering Consultants, LLC (NEC) has been retained by the Client to perform an evaluation of the slab on grade foundation system of the 2 story quadplex with brick veneer located at the subject address referenced above. This report provides guidance as to whether or not the existing foundation system is in need of repair. The report also proposes a recommended plan if repairs are needed. Conclusions/Svecific Recommendation: NEC performed a visual evaluation of the foundation for the subject property on 6/19/2025. NEC also performed a floor survey using a Zip -level Pro-2000 series, collecting relative floor elevations, to aid in surface topography mapping of the floor(s). Elevations shown are adjusted for the type of flooring encountered to reflect a consistent measuring plane. The map of the existing floor elevations can be seen in the figure attached to this report. Based on review of the foundation, and reasonable professional engineering opinion, we've determined that movement of the foundation has occurred and should be repaired. Although complete levelness cannot be guaranteed, or may not be attainable. the proposed plan should improve the performance of the foundation. It is recommended that twenty-one (21) piers be installed and polyurethane foam be injected as indicated on the figure(s) attached to this report. Locations of internal piers [if needed] are intended to be approximate. The Contractor should locate the beams and place internal piers accordingly. Furthermore, the proposed foundation repairs shall meet or exceed Chapter 4 of the 2021 International Building Code (IBC), as it relates to foundations and any local applicable amendments to the IBC. This report is solely based on information gathered during our site visit on 6/19/2025. and does not take into consideration any changes in condition of the foundation or soils after the date which the information was gathered.

Installing a guttering system will direct water away from the foundation and reduce the potential for ground erosion near the foundation footing. It is also recommended that the plumbing systems be checked after any repairs are made to the foundation system. Vertical movement of the foundation system can impose stresses on the plumbing infrastructure and cause leaks. It is recommended that soil grading be maintained such that the bottom portion of the foundation is below grade, as per the governing code and a watering system be utilized around the perimeter of the house. Fluctuations in moisture content of the soils near the foundation of the house can cause differential movement. If the moisture content is kept consistent, the potential for differential movement is mitigated. Furthermore, grading around the perimeter of the building should be maintained as sloping away from the foundation at a minimum of 6 inches fall within the first 10 feet from the foundation. Such grading configuration should prevent localized water accumulating around areas of the foundation. Saturated soils decline in bearing capacity and can result in differential movement of the foundation. Limitations: This report is intended for information purposes only, and the sole use of the client and/or homeowner. The scope of this report is limited to the items related to the foundation system only, and it is understood that detection of all existing or potential defects is not feasible for this type of evaluation.

This report serves as confirmation that repairs have been done, provides information on the post -lift condition of the foundation, and provides our reasonable professional opinion on the repair measures taken to improve the foundation performance. This report does not take into consideration any changes to the condition of the foundation or the surrounding soils after the date the evaluation was performed. Foundation Repair Details: The Contractor installed new concrete piers to which the purpose of the installed piers is to improve the performance of the foundation by providing support at the piered locations in an effort to achieve relative levelness of the slab. The repairs performed conform to Chapter 4 of the 2021 International Building Code (IBC), as it relates to foundations and any local applicable amendments to the IBC. It is understood that absolute levelness may not be achievable after repairs. Data and Observations: NEC performed a visual evaluation of the foundation for the subject property on 7/16/2025. NEC also performed a floor survey using a Zip -level Pro-2000 series, collecting relative floor elevations, to aid in surface topography mapping of the floor(s). Elevations shown are adjusted for the type of flooring encountered to reflect a consistent measuring plane. The map of the post -lift floor elevations can be seen in the figure attached to this report. Based on the data gathered and our professional engineering opinion, the repairs performed by the Contractor have improved the foundation to be within slope tolerances generally accepted as industry standards. 1000 Buck Dobbs Rd., Aledo, Texas 76008 817-374-3559 C j CC *0NORYTIERMINEIRIN6 CONSOLTANTS LLC General Recommendations: It is recommended that a guttering system be installed if the house does not have gutters.
