In plain language
The inspection found multiple items across most home systems. Foundation movement and drainage issues need prompt attention, along with several safety concerns in electrical, plumbing, and appliances. Most structural systems are functioning but require maintenance and repairs.
Foundation. The foundation is experiencing seasonal movement, with the concrete shrinking while masonry walls expand, causing corner fractures and exposing post-tension cables to rust.

The five major systems
Safety and repair items are shown. Inspector notes are a click away under each system.
Foundation & Structure
9 repair, 1 note
Foundation corners show cracks from seasonal movement; post-tension cables are exposed and rusting; gutters are damaged with debris; exposed footing and tree branches need attention.
- Repair
Foundation corner cracks exist in the garage where the masonry walls and concrete foundation are moving differently, which could create openings for wood-destroying insects.
