Comments:
The foundation and footings are in generally very good repair. There is one damaged and one partially
detached foundation vent at the southwest corner of the foundation. I advise repairing/replacing these
vents. This will prevent vermin and wildlife entrance into the crawlspace.
There is excessive deflection of the floor joists under load in the front half of the structure. I suggest
installation of additional floor bearing posts and pre-cast concrete footings in the crawlspace where
desired for greater floor rigidity. This is a fairly easy operation; just place the footing below the midpoint
if a joist span, jack up the joist ¼”-1/2” and cut a 4” x 4” post section. Place it on the footing, and release
the jack, allowing the load to settle on the new support post. Consult a contractor if this seems to
exceed your experience or comfort level.

Comments:
There is evidence of vermin (mice feces) in the crawlspace. There is evidence of past moisture and there
is currently moisture adjacent to the east foundation wall. There are minor amounts of debris in the
crawlspace. I recommend removing any debris, and replacing/repairing the discrepant foundation vents.
This will prevent vermin from entering the crawlspace, and the lack of debris will insure there is no
sustenance or nesting materials available.
