Pier Beam Offset


Recommended Posts

first off why isn't your inspector answering this question.  There is an indication this is a "major" defect.  How old is house?  is there any indication of movement as a result of this condition?  I would not get exercised about this unless there was some indication of abnormal settlement.  

To be fair - I have little time for people that take your money and tell you to contact a qualified professional.   They should have at least explained the ramification(s) of this.

That writeup on pier/beam offset is enough to tell me that the bigger issue is actually your inspector. An inspector's writing helps reveal his performance as inspector.

Awful report. 

The pictures show a single post that's not centered in its pier block. That's not a big problem, it's not even a little problem. Don't worry about it. 

I'd be much more concerned about getting that electrical cable up off the ground, installing a vapor barrier on the ground, and installing some seismic retrofitting - if you're in the Bay Area.
