Assess Your Foundation Risk
Two free, data-driven diagnostic tools that evaluate your property against the same soil data and structural criteria published throughout this site.
- Know exactly which foundation risks apply to your specific property
- Understand whether your situation calls for monitoring, evaluation, or immediate action
- Have a clear next step based on data, not guesswork
Available Assessments
Clay Risk Score
- What it does
- Calculates a 1–10 composite risk rating based on your location's soil classification, home age, and foundation type.
- Who it's for
- Homeowners who want to understand their property's baseline risk before any symptoms appear.
- Time required
- About 60 seconds
- What you'll get
- A property-specific risk score with an explanation of contributing factors and recommended next steps.
Structural Integrity Score
- What it does
- Walks through a symptom-by-symptom evaluation and assigns a severity tier: Monitor, Evaluate, or Act Now.
- Who it's for
- Homeowners who have already noticed cracks, sticking doors, sloping floors, or other movement indicators.
- Time required
- About 2 minutes
- What you'll get
- A severity classification with specific observations about your symptoms and guidance on appropriate responses.
Which Tool Is Right for You?
How These Assessments Work
Both tools draw from the same soil data, housing stock analysis, and diagnostic criteria published across Foundation Integrity Authority. The Clay Risk Score combines your location's soil classification with housing age and foundation type to produce a composite risk rating. The Structural Integrity Score evaluates reported symptoms against established severity thresholds used by structural engineers and foundation specialists.
These are educational tools, not professional evaluations. They cannot account for site-specific conditions that only an in-person inspection can assess — soil moisture levels, actual crack measurements, wall deflection readings, and grading conditions. If either tool recommends professional evaluation, consider it a data-informed suggestion worth acting on.
