1. What is a geological inspection?
A geological inspection evaluates the surface and subsurface conditions of a property to identify issues related to slope stability, drainage, erosion, retaining walls, fill vs. native soils, and potential geologic hazards.
‍
This type of evaluation is especially important for hillside homes, older properties, and lots undergoing new construction.
2. When should I get a geological inspection?

A geological inspection is recommended when:

  • Buying or selling a hillside or sloped property
  • Seeing signs of drainage issues (ponding, seepage, wet soil)
  • Noticing movement or cracking in slopes, walls, or foundations
  • Planning an ADU, addition, renovation, or pool
  • Experiencing repeated water intrusion or erosion
  • A city or engineer requests geological input for permitting
4. Do you offer escrow geological inspections?
Yes. GeoTed provides fast-turnaround escrow inspections to help buyers understand slope conditions, drainage risks, retaining wall concerns, past grading, and overall geologic suitability before closing.
