 | Comment | For your information |
Pavers at the rear patio have shifted and have a negative pitch towards the house. This can allow water to settle around the perimeter of the home and possibly create leaks in the basement. A qualified landscape contractor should evaluate and repair as needed.
One or more minor cracks (1/8 inch or less) were found in the foundation. These don't appear to be a structural concern, but recommend sealing them to prevent water infiltration and monitoring them in the future. Numerous products exist to seal such cracks including:- Hydraulic cement. Requires chiseling a channel in the crack to apply.
- Resilient caulks (easy to apply).
- Epoxy sealants (both a waterproof and structural repair).
Small drip on valve above water heater. This appears to be the water supply line to the refrigerator. A qualified plumbing contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.
Air handler filter(s) should be checked monthly in the future and replaced or washed as necessary.
The damper in one or more fireplaces is stuck and cannot be opened or closed. A qualified chimney service contractor should evaluate and make repairs as necessary.
One or more ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electric receptacles did not trip when tested. This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary.
Some balusters are loose on the upper floor guardrail. Repairs should be made so that they are secure.
