1. Observe and protect
Record what's showing up at the Rock Hill property -- crack width, door and window behavior, any water intrusion -- before anything gets patched over informally.
2. Evaluate the house and site
Piedmont clay along the Catawba corridor swells and shrinks with the seasons, so a Rock Hill evaluation needs to account for that ongoing cycle, not just today's snapshot.
3. Define a written scope
A workable Rock Hill scope covers prep, protection, materials suited to clay soil, access, permits, testing, cleanup, and how plan changes get priced.
4. Compare providers
Two Rock Hill bids with similar totals can rest on very different assumptions -- read what's actually included in each before deciding, and verify credentials regardless.
5. Inspect closeout
Before calling a Rock Hill project done, confirm test results, cleanup, documentation, warranty terms, and what maintenance responsibility remains with the homeowner.
