During this inspection underneath the home, it was found that this load bearing post was inappropriately repaired with a rock to provide support. Posts should be sitting flat, on level footings, with termite pans protecting against infestation. It was recommended that these changes be made. This house was on a hill and was showing evidence of sliding down the hill. The lot needed to be re-graded and gutters be re-diverted so that water did not flow under the house. Without these repairs this house will collapse. |
