Inspecting Wood Foundations

After attending a seminar on permanent wood foundations back in 2010, I was turned into a big fan of wood foundations. But I was also convinced that most wood foundations are built improperly.
I was already suspicious about wood foundations before attending that seminar because the majority of wood foundations that I inspect have water problems. Another home inspector who attended the seminar with me said it best: "I was worried about wood foundations before I took this class... but now I'm terrified."
