Afox 0 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 We have a contract on a 2 year old home. The inspection revealed alarming foundation issues. Significant offsets, piers not centered on main beams. Multiple areas in crawl space. Vertical support posts out of level. Concrete block cracking from pier cap failure, two piers, shim compression, improper placement on several piers. I have attached images from inspection. My question is...should we move forward, getting bids for repair? Is this common and relatively easy to fix? Or should we run? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Katen 138 Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 The house was built by morons. If the parts that you can see look like this, imagine what's going on in the parts that you can't see. Find another house. And while you're at it, find another inspector - one who's not illiterate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trent Tarter 5 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 As others have said I would RUN! Finding those kinds of structural defects on a two year old home is very alarming and is a good induction that there's more issues going on. The inspection report is very poorly written and unprofessional. I would hire a new inspector and move on to another property. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Les 80 Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 house not so good. does not look to be in very good condition, but you can fix anything with enough money. You will need some money to fix that one. Get a real inspector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Erby 41 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 So many people don't know how to use proper grammar and spelling. And then they put it out there for the public. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
