The pertinent report recommendations are identified
below. Refer to the Home Reference Book report for details on these
and other recommendations.
ROOFING - The roof and skylight are leaking. Further evaluation
and repairs are required.(Cost: Depends on work needed)
EXTERIOR -
It is recommended that the lot grading be improved to direct water
away from the foundation wall to reduce the potential for basement
leakage or dampness.
INTERIOR - Evidence of leakage was observed
in the basement. Basement moisture is a common issue in most homes.
Improvements to gutters and downspouts, and ensuring the grading
around the home slopes away from the building, should be done
as first steps, and are usually effective in keeping the basement
dry.
Further repairs need only be done as a last resort. |
