Leaking Basement
April 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under Shocking DE Inspection Discoveries
As a Delaware Home Inspector we see many homes some require only maintenance items to be repaired and others require contractor involvement. On this house the front and rear basement walls have cracks that go all the way thru allowing water to enter the structure, In addition to that the rear entrance door was leaking and damaged. This was one of the homes that require contractor involvement because the cracks will have to be handled a certain way in order for the walls to stop leaking. The heater return air duct was a whole separate issue, The buyer asked if they (seller) could seal that up with spray foam, My reply was no that duct should be taken apart and put back together either with a transition to go around the pipe or move the heater and duct work. The reason is this if the plumbing waste pipe broke not only would you have waste water in the basement but now its in the heater and could damage the motor and controls not to mention think of the foul odor that could permeate thru the rest of the home.
