Recommendations

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.
