TWO - OVERALL CONDITION - A North Carolina home
inspection will include a visible inspection of the dwelling
for overall condition. The N C home inspector will inspect the
overall condition of the house, the settlement, and conduct a
visible evaluation of the structure for squareness and
vertical plumb. The visible includes where exposed, the
foundation, side walls, roof line, and any extensions that may
have been added to the house. Many time structural defects are
noted by just simply stepping back and looking at the overall
squareness of the house.
THREE - ROOF LINE AND ROOF
- A North Carolina home inspection will include a visible
inspection of the exposed areas of the complete roof. The N C
home inspector will visibly inspect the house roof line for
squareness and the ridge beam for any deflection. The complete
roof will be given an overall visible inspection for condition
and deflection. A low section in the roof is a good indication
that there may be a rafter or roof sheathing problem.
FOUR - ENTRANCE STEPS - A
North Carolina home inspection will include an inspection of
the entrance steps or ground level entrance areas. The N C
home inspector will inspect all the entrance steps of the
house. The entrance steps are a very high maintenance item.
This inspector has discovered that most houses over five years
old need some type of general maintenance to the entrance
steps or stoop. Two of the more serious problems of entrance
steps other than general maintenance is concrete deterioration
and stoop rotation. Stoop rotation is when the foundation of a
concrete, stone, or brick stoop has heavy settlement, causing
it to rotate back into the foundation of the house. This
condition can cause serious cracks in the foundation. In other
words, the stoop because of settlement is putting heavy
pressure on the foundation wall that can cause the wall to
crack.
FIVE - EXTERIOR FOUNDATION
INSPECTION - A North Carolina home inspection includes
a visible inspection of the exposed areas of the exterior
foundation. The N C home inspector will inspect the exterior
of the foundation for cracks, bulging, bowing, deterioration,
and heavy settlement. Particular attention will be paid to
areas of the foundation where there may be large trees
growing. The N C home inspector will be looking for foundation
damage from large tree roots. Another area of concern is the
foundation area where a rain gutter downspouts may be
discharging water right alongside the foundation. Thousands of
gallons of rain water being discharged right alongside the
foundation, eventually will damage the foundation and
penetrate the basement.
SIX - INTERIOR STRUCTURAL FRAMING
- A North Carolina home inspector includes a visible
inspection of the exposed areas of the interior framing. The N
C home inspector will make a visible inspection of the house
interior for structural problems. When feasible , he will
inspect the main beam, lolly columns, rim and floor joists and
all other components of the structure. Particular attention
will be paid to the levelness of the floors. Floors that have
a visible noticeable slope is an indication that there may be
a structural problem.
SEVEN - OVERALL CONDITION OF THE DOORS
AND WINDOWS - A North Carolina home inspection includes
an inspection of the doors and windows. The N C home inspector
will make a visible inspection for : the condition and
squareness of the doors and windows which is a good indicator
of the settlement of the house. Doors that are really out of
square and a if the floor has a severe slope, definitely would
call for a visible inspection and evaluation of the framing
and foundation. The N C home inspector will also test a number
of the windows for condition and ease of operation.
EIGHT - INTERIOR FOUNDATION
- A North Carolina home inspection includes a visible
inspection of the exposed areas of the interior foundation.
The N C home inspector will inspect when feasible, crawl
spaces, slab foundation, and basement floors and walls for
structural condition and settlement. These are the areas that
are most susceptible to water damage. The inspector will be
inspecting for : cracks, heavy settlement, deterioration of
the concrete, displacement of foundation walls, heaving or
settlement of the slab or basement floors. The areas mentioned
are just a few of the main areas of the interior foundation
inspection.
NINE - INTERIOR STRUCTURE - A North Carolina
home inspection includes a visible inspection of the interior
condition of the dwelling. The N C home inspector will inspect
the interior walls floors and ceilings for structural
problems. First he will inspect the visible wood framing in
the basement such as sill plates, girders, and floor joists,
just to name a few framing components. The home inspector N C
will be looking for: wood rot, functional support columns, the
condition of the main beam and floor joists, and, if visible,
the condition of the sub flooring. In the inspection of the
wall and ceilings, the inspector will be inspecting for:
cracks , displacement, water damage and the overall condition.
TEN - ATTIC AREA - A North
Carolina home inspection includes an inspection of the attic.
The N C home inspector will inspect the attic areas when
feasible for any structural problems with the floor, rafters,
walls, main beam and all other structural components.
Particular attention will be paid to the rafters. The
inspector will be looking for sagged, rotted, or cracked
rafters that may need repair or replacement. Note, for safety
reasons, a home inspector doesn't have to enter an un-floored
attic.
