Pictures of doors, windows
and interior defects

 
 
 
 
 

In this picture, the popcorn ceiling is in need
of repair, due to an apparent roof leak.

 
 
 
 
Here we see evidence of moisture damage
to wood floor.
 
 
 
 
This is a picture of a plastic washer hook-up
assembly that is broken.  It appears that the
cold water valve has leaked and sealed itself
with minerals but it could still be leaking inside
the wall cavity.
Repairs will be recommended.
 
 
 
 
In this picture, the deadlock is missing a bolt
and face plate.  Repairs will be recommended.
 
 
 
 
 

In this picture, the door closer not attached
to storm door.

 
 
 
 
In this picture, the door closer is missing.
 
 
 
 
In this picture, the deadbolt is loose, or the
cylinder is too long, and should be repaired or
replaced by a locksmith to ensure security.
 
 
 
 
In this picture we can see the metal flashing
below the threshold has been deteriorated by
moisture-activated salts in the concrete and
should be replaced.
 
 
 
 
In this picture, the window crank handle appears
to be located too close to the edge to be
functional.  Repairs will be recommended
 
 
 
 
In this picture, the deadbolt and striker plate for
the door handle are missing and should be
replaced by a licensed locksmith.
 
 
 
 
In this picture, the tiles in the tub area have
been displaced by moisture.  They appear to
have been installed with mastic as opposed
to being installed with a thin-set, over a more
substantial mortar base.  The entire enclosure
will need to be retiled.
Repairs will be recommended.
 
 
 
 
In this picture, the door jamb is badly dry rot
damaged.  Repairs will be recommended
 
 
 
 
In this picture we can see, there is a mold-like
patina on the wall behind the wallpaper which
should be tested for remediation by a licensed
mold specialist.
 
 
 
 
In this picture we can see the ceiling mounted
smoke detector is aged, as evidenced by the
yellowed case and missing proper cover and
battery.  The missing cover alters airflow to
sensor, making it either more or less sensitive
than originally designed.  Detector is therefore
questionable.  Unable to test, as required, in
present un-powered condition.
Repairs will be recommended
 
 
 
 
In this picture, the interior privacy door latch
set is inoperative due to broken and missing
latch, preventing door from remaining closed.
Latch set is also expired due to age.
Repairs will be recommended
 
 
 
 
 in this picture, the door jamb is badly
termite or dry rot damaged.
Repairs will be recommended
 
 
 
 
In this picture, the moisture meter is giving a
high moisture content reading.
Repairs will be recommended
 
 
 
 
In this picture, the treads are substandard and
should be a minimum of eleven inches which
prevents a trip hazard.  This could indicate the
stairs were installed without a permit.  Stairs
cannot be endorsed and should be evaluated by
a licensed general contractor.
Repairs will be recommended
