randynavarro Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 That 4th photo is bizarre. It looks like that flashing terminates into the brick wall, but I see the brick wall is actually across the street. The proportions and scale of the photo really missed with myperception. Oh, and I wouldn't bless any of that stuff. Just state the facts. It holds water - not drains it, and the flashings should have all been replaced properly.

hausdok Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 That's a lot of weight, A gallon of water contains 231 cubic inches and weighs 8.33lbs. A 10ft. by 10ft. by 1in. pond contains 62.34 gallons weighing 520lbs, which is all added to the dead weight of the BUR, gravel and deck. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

MTL_Inspet_Man Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I agree as stated in report Ponding, water accumulation, does not slope to drain, flashings to be repaired and repalced as required. New homeowner not happy since new roof was thrown in and paid by seller as part of deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why buyers shouldn't agree to having sellers fix things discovered during an inspection. It usually ends up costing more later.
