Door Damage

Filed under Shocking DE Inspection Discoveries

I found this door the other day while I was standing in the kitchen And I wanted to share this. If you look on the upper right hand side of the door you will see the gap. The frame of the door had seperated from the glass causing water to enter the home run down the door and was leaking into the basement. I did not take a picture of the underside or basement area but there was rot to the wood framing members.

Major Roofing and Mold issue

July 15, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Shocking DE Inspection Discoveries

As a Delaware Home Inspector I come across all kind of problems in and around the home. On this day I went to open the door to prepare for my inspection and before I entered the property I could smell a musty odor. I new this was a vacant property so I figured the home had the odor because it had not been lived in for some time. Once I entered I saw a big problem. There was mold growing from floor to ceiling in the living room and to my surprise when I went upstairs I found that this was the case in one of the rear bedrooms. Upon further inspection of the roof and attic I found that the roof had been leaking, In addition to the roof leak the plumbing supply lines were leaking as well. So two different problems but one big mess.
