Following is a partial listing of the Exterior and components that are observed during the home inspection

< Back

   

Damaged siding and trim around the top of the brick column due to improper flashing where the roof joins the wall.

Decay affecting trim around a window. A typical issue.

   

Insect or termite damaged trim (fascia) along the roof perimeter. There is a potential of much concealed damage.

Decay affecting a lower section of hardboard siding. This material does not perform well is generally no longer used in this climate.

   

Crack within stucco where an upper floor porch floor adjoins the wall. Staining apparent around the bottom is indicative of water intruding behind the stucco.

There are multiple cracks within this stucco which is much too thin (around 1/8-1/4 inch).  Stucco should be 7/8 inch thick on this wall.

   

The metal cap atop of chimney enclosure should extend over the wood trim. The trim is deteriorating.

Brick veneer is deficiently attached to the wall. There is a separation of close to 1/4 inch.

There is an open void into the wall where this deck adjoins the house.  Bare wood wall structure is visible through the void where flashing should be present.

The lower approximately two inches of this double pane window is filled with water. The seal between the two sections of glass has failed.
