Home Inspections in South Pasadena, California by a Licensed General Contractor

South Pasadena is a small city of well-preserved 1900s-through-1920s Craftsman and period homes plus mid-century stock. In South Pasadena, contractors and inspectors find raised masonry foundations, redwood framing, knob-and-tube remnants, and galvanized plumbing in the historic homes, with slab elsewhere. Soils engineers note generally stable ground, with some expansive areas near the foothill edges of South Pasadena. It's a charming, historic community with top schools, so the value is in the older foundations and systems and any additions.
