I. STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
A. Foundations
Type of Foundation(s): Post tension slab-on-grade
Comments:
There has been differential movement of the post tension foundation slab as indicated by separation of the frieze board at some
of the corners, cracks in the interior gypsum board at joints in the walls, miss aligned door frames, etc.
Since at the time of the inspection there was no serious problem with the frame structure or serious functional problems resulting
from the foundation movement, underpinning and leveling the foundation was not considered to be a structural or functional
necessity at this time and is not required provided that you find the symptoms of the foundation movement which has occurred to
be acceptable.
Since the variation of the moisture content of the soil supporting the foundation can be a significant factor contributing to
continuing movement a proper lawn maintenance program may aid in minimizing foundation problems in the future. The chipped
concrete at the corners of the foundation slab were not considered to be the result of a structural problem requiring repair.
There has been differential movement of the garage foundation slab as indicated by cracks in the gypsum board covering the
interior walls, cracks in the interior gypsum board at joints in the walls, cracks in the gypsum board on the ceiling, etc.
Since at the time of the inspection there was no serious problem with the frame structure or serious functional problems resulting

has been applied at the joints between the roof surface and the siding above the roof surface suggests that the joints were not
flashed properly and/or that there have been leaks. J flashing is no longer an acceptable type of flashing. The decking and
underlayment is not installed properly at some of the eaves where checked. Debris, if allowed to collect and remain on the roof
surface, particularly in the valleys, will cause deterioration of the shingles and, eventually roof leaks. The debris should be
removed from the roof surface and the shingles checked for deterioration.
