FOR PRE-EXISTING DECKS AND PORCHES.
HERE’S WHAT OUR PROFESSIONAL HOME INSPECTOR WILL LOOK FOR:
• Is the masonry cracking or flaking?
• Is there wood-earth contact, rotted wood or chipping paint?
• Has the structure separated from the house or has the structure settled?
A thorough inspection of your newly built porch or deck is also important.
Although it is uncommon for a new build to have imperfections, it can happen. A professional inspection will put worries at ease. After the inspection, you’ll know for sure that the structure is sound. A porch and deck are important exterior structures of a home that deserve care.
Neglect over time can limit the years of enjoyment as well as become a safety hazard. For existing porches and decks, winter months can definitely wreak havoc on the structure. Strong winds and heavy snow piles can warp wood, create dangerous pressure points and ruin stains or other decorative features.
Get a professional deck or porch inspection done so that potential problems can be detected and fixed before it becomes unsafe.
