9 Comments on Bellingham Home Inspector (King of the House) -- Wood Decay
Steven if you're in a dry climate with pressure treated wood is it as bad?
Not a pretty picture! Hope the rest of the inspection went better. But really, I'm sure the buyers and agent had already noted this obvious repair item!
Steve: You sound so incredibly thorough. I sure wish YOU could do all of my inspections. Darn ! And... you explain things so well. I bet you are just great with buyers ! Thanks for sharing.
Steve, We do not live in as rainy a climate as you do. However, we do have the same problems. I see this more on older properties...
Helping YOU live YOUR American dream...
When previewing or showing homes, one of the few "inspection" matters I look for is "wood to soil contact".
Even a real estate agent knows that's a danger zone.
Steve, the picture you show is all tooooo common----getting a little less so with the use of pressure treated lumber.
Man alive, hope nobody decides to step on the edge of that porch.
Do things get wet out there?
What some people think when they construct things like that is baffling. You reap what you sow.
Heather,
It is probably not as bad but, over time, even most pressure treated wood decays. Figure a life of up to 40 years for much of it. The wood used for wood foundation houses is better, but that is rare to find.
