FOUNDATION/UNDER-FLOOR AREAS

Areas of the foundation and/or structural components of the building were inaccessible because they were installed at orbelow grade level, and/or behind walls. Areas concealed from view by any means and assessing the structural integrity ofa building is excluded from this report. The inspectors observations take into account the age of the building and theconstruction standards of that time, older buildings may lack many of the modern framing and seismic connectionspresently being utilized. Foundations may have curing cracks that do not represent a structural problem. All concreteexperiences some degree of cracking due to shrinkage in the drying process. If large cracks are present along withmovement, we recommend further evaluation by a structural engineer, foundation specialist or a geologist. All exteriorgrades should allow for surface and roof water to be diverted away from the foundation system. All maintenance, repairsor corrections should be made by specialist's in the appropriate trade using approved methods.

[SC] Safety Concerns [FE] Further Evaluation [CR] Corrections Recommended [RU] Recommended Upgrade




FOUNDATION:201 TYPE: Foundation types observed: Raised foundation with a concrete perimeter and interior

wood beams supported by concrete piers.

202 BOLTS/BRACING: Anchor bolts were observed in the visible and accessible areas of the newer additionareas of the crawl space during the inspection.

[RU] There were no anchor bolts or seismic connections observed between the originalportion of the house framing and the foundation. We recommend the building be boltedand/or fastened to the foundation using the appropriate methods to accommodate theconstruction design of the home as an upgrade for earthquake safety.

CRAWL SPACE:206 ACCESSIBILITY: Accessed from the exterior at the left side of the building. The crawl space was generally

accessible.

207 FOUNDATION: The concrete foundation had hairline cracks. This type of cracking is often a result ofshrinkage of materials, settlement or seismic action and usually does not affect thestrength of the foundation. with exceptions noted.a. [FE] There was a condition known as efflorescence on portions of the foundationwalls. This is a salt deposit left when moisture in the foundation evaporates. It indicatesthat the foundation is experiencing wet and dry cycles. We recommend improvement ofthe exterior grading and drainage.

208 FRAMING: The visible floor framing appeared serviceable. with exceptions noted.a. [CR] Earth-to-Wood contact is present at post in the left section of the crawlspace.

We recommend correcting the condition(s) noted.

210 VENTILATION: The crawl space ventilation appeared serviceable. Good ventilation is vital for moisturecontrol. The exterior vents should be kept in good repair, clear of vegetation andinspected periodically.

213 DRYER VENT: [CR] The dryer vent exhaust pipe was observed to be flexible plastic in the crawl spaceunder the building. This is an improper installation. We recommend correcting thecondition(s) noted.

214 OBSERVATIONS: [CR] The drain lines had an improper in slope in the crawlspace to provide for adequatedrainage and blockage may result. We recommend correcting the condition(s) noted. [CR] There was improper wiring in the crawlspace in the form of splices in wiring, notcontained in approved boxes. We recommend correcting the condition(s) noted.
