Subject: Foundation Review m 3 8 10 ShadyMeadoxv Dr., Grapevine. Texas Authorization and Scpp Nortier Enaineering, Consultants. LLC'(,NE(*) has been retained by the Client to perforni an evaltiatiou of L the slab on grade foundation system of the 2 story residential home with brick veneer located at the sut�ject 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!Specific Recommendation: NEC perfornied a visual evaluation of the foundation for the subj1ect property on 8/ 111/2025. 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 petforniance of the fonlidation. It is recommended that one (1) new pier and drainage improvements be installed as indicated on the figurets) attached to this report. Locations of internal piers [if needed] are intended to be approximate. The Contractor should locate the beanisand place internal piers accordingly. Furthermore. the proposed foundation repairs shall meet or exceed Chapter 4 of the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), as it relates to foundations and any local applicable amendments to the IRC, This report is solely based on inforniation gathered during our site visit on S/ 1 L/2025, and does not take into consideration any changes in condition of the foundation of soils after the date which the information Maras gathered.

Aledo, Texas 76008 81'7-374-3559 1nfWi-t,Nortierllc.coni General Recoiiiiiien,dla,.t,io.i,i.,s.:, It is reconuirended that a guttering system be installed if the house does not have gutters. 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 inclies, fall within the first 10 feet from the foundation. Stich 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.
