Limited Visual Inspection:  
 Porches, Decks and Carports (Attached):
   
wpe5.jpg (19356 bytes) This is a drain on a patio that is located on the high side of the patio. The improperly installed drain will allow for ponding water on the patio; until it gets deep enough to reach the drain.
   
wpe8.jpg (18010 bytes) This is a Builder's idea of a patio. The patio was poured up to the bottom of the weep holes in the brick of the structure. This is like opening a door for wood destroying insects to enter the structure. If this home was being sold as a resale property it would be considered to have conducive (conditions) to wood consuming insects and would most likely be required to be treated prior to closing of the sale. Unfortunately, same   scenario does not apply to builders.
   
wpeA.jpg (24193 bytes) This patio is a built-in water trap. The patio grading was incorrect when the patio was poured. 
   
wpe15.jpg (16803 bytes) This is a sunken pool deck. The deck is a trip hazard.
