Fire Inspections Post-fire fire for fire damaged home foundations in the Waldo Canyon area.
Homes in the Evacuated Areas Suffer Foundation Damage.
Many home foundations were heavily damaged by the intense heat as well as the fire. Peak Basement Systems has received phone calls by our local engineers, and homeowners with concerns for foundation inspections post-fire for foundations damaged by the fire and intense heat the fire caused.
Fire fighting efforts saved many homes!
Helicopter water drops to prevent fire loss as well as fire fighters who just refused to quit saved homes in the path of the Waldo Canyon Wildfire. According to Gazette.com, fire fighters arrived in Waldo Canyon just ahead of the 68 miles an hour wind gusts, Their heroic efforts to save as many homes as they could are recorded in the July 9th Gazette.com post. Waldo Canyon homeowners are grateful to the fire fighters!
Building officials are requiring foundation certifications in order to rebuild on existing foundations.

Home foundations inspections are necessary as the rebuilding and repairs to the Waldo Canyon homes get under way. Each foundation inspection will examine the structural integrity of the foundation that suffered the intense fire and heat from the Waldo Canyon Wildfire.
