Most of what we saw at the house was cosmetic but there are a few unknown’s that concern me. There is evidence at two door frame corners of settling and there are a couple of spots near the center beam in the hallway where the floor is uneven.

The garage ceiling is sagging which could be either from old water damage or the wide span of the ceiling joists across the garage. The Master bathroom floor and shower have cracks in the tile which could indicated settling or rotten wood underneath, Without a professional inspection or crawling the attic and crawlspace it will be impossible to know the causes if these items.

There is some minor cracking in the brick veneer at the garage door and some deflection of the steel brick lintel. Given the wide span of the door these may not be a point of concern.

The water heater is leaking and while it may just be a leak at a fitting, my experience has been that it is probably the tank that is leaking. The power wasn’t on so we couldn’t check the HVAC. The roof looks to be in decent shape.

The detached garage is in decent shape but the gutters are filled with leaves.

The link below is to the photo slideshow. You can pause the slides to get a better look and I retained the original photos if you need more detail. If you do decide to look closer at the house I can search the courthouse records and go back for a diagram of the floor plan.
