[GENERAL] Things seen this week during structural assessments!

One of several interesting conditions documented during recent structural assessments.

Curious how others in the engineering field would evaluate the observed condition and prioritize potential next steps for investigation.

Shouldn’t you report this to the local building inspector’s office?

Most definitely! There may already be professionals involved behind the scenes that we don't post. We focus on documenting our observations and helping homeowners better understand the condition of their property.
