Did you know that you can tell a lot about a house's structural condition just by looking at its facade? If the facade is in good condition, we often see this reflected in the rest of the house. During a building inspection, our inspectors always begin with a visual inspection of the facade and record their findings in our proprietary app. We're happy to use a ladder to further inspect the gutters and roof.
If there is subsidence due to foundation problems, cracks will always be visible in the masonry. Cracks aren't always a problem, as the condition of the house is often related to its year of construction. During an inspection, we also look at various things, such as:
For example, if we notice some wood rot in the window frames on the outside of the house, we will pay close attention to this during the subsequent inspection.
