Common Santa Barbara Property Findings

Hillside Foundation & Drainage

In Mission Canyon and the Riviera, we evaluate retaining walls and drainage systems critical for foundation stability.

The Mesa: Coastal Corrosion

We check for salt-air corrosion on HVAC components and moisture intrusion common in Santa Barbara's coastal neighborhoods.

Sewer Lateral Aging

Because of our mature trees and old clay lines, we recommend a $199 sewer scope for homes built before the 1980s.

Historic Electrical Systems

We identify outdated Zinsco or Federal Pacific panels common in historic estates that may impact insurability.
