Lytle foundation inspections should separate old cosmetic history from an active recurring pattern
House history matters, but current recurrence matters more
A patched crack from years ago is less important than whether the same stress keeps returning now in the same area of the home.
Weather-linked symptoms still count
If doors stick or cracks reopen around the same conditions each season, the home may be responding to repeat moisture imbalance rather than random chance.
Runoff and drainage should be checked with the interior symptoms
The best diagnosis compares finish damage with low spots, discharge points, and places where water may be affecting the slab perimeter.
The response should fit the evidence
Some homes need better runoff control, some need monitoring, and some need structural repair planning. The inspection should keep that decision grounded.
