Each and every foundation poured by Coello & Associates
receives a serial numbered plaque. The serial number is a very integral part of
our quality control process. During excavation, each site is inspected and
photographed. Our foundation experts then determine if any adjustments must be
made as a result of the site conditions. Pictures are also taken during the
construction process, during which a quality control expert examines each
foundation to ensure it meets our standards. These pictures, along with all
other job related information, are all digitally catalogued by serial number.
Cataloging each job is especially beneficial under the following
circumstances:
- If there is a problem with the foundation.
- If the homeowner has decided to renovate the home.
- If the building inspector has a question now or in the
future.
- If the buyer's home inspector has an issue with the
foundation at the time of resale.
The information we have on hand can help to provide more
information in these instances, and can often help to resolve issues at little
or no cost to the homeowner. By knowing how the foundation was constructed the
issues can be addressed through education, rather than through costly
foundation repairs.
In addition to the serial number, our plaques
contain our contact information. We're proud of our work, and want our
customers to be able to reach us if they should need to. Just as a painter
signs each canvas, we put our name on our work of art!
