CARPORT / PORCH / DECK POST(S)
NOT ANCHORED / DAMAGED / AMISS:
This item is checked for several reasons. One
reason, as an example, is that the inspector
noted that the post shifted when he pressed
against it. Another is that the post may be
sitting in, or under, a post anchor which is not
fastened to the post. Still another may be that
the post has shifted out from under the beam it
is supporting, or is insufficiently nailed or
otherwise fastened. Posts which hold up porch
roofs and decks are often set atop a foundation
bolt by drilling a hole in the bottom of the
post. This prevents the post from slipping off
its footing as long as the post is in good
condition and is not rotted. Usually realigning
the post and a few well placed nails are
sufficient to remedy this problem. Inasmuch as
this problem can have so many variations it is
impossible to prescribe a precise cure. If a
post anchor is needed it may be necessary to
slip the post out of the way while installing
the anchor. Some types of anchors allow the post
to be slipped in from one side, so installation
is not too difficult. It may be necessary for
you to call on the services of a General
Contractor should this repair be outside your
expertise.
Water
in basement and water in crawl space, are
problems frequantly found during a New Jersey
home inspection Make sure your home
inspector has the experience necessary to assist
you in evaluating these problems and cures.

Few realize the work performed by your NJ Real Estate Attorney. They are the ones who review the title, survey, contracts, mortgages, legal documents and perhaps most important to many home inspection report. An experienced NJ Real Estate Attorney can provide you with solid advice as to what you can and can not reasonably ask for after he or she reviews your home inspection report. Of course in order for your attorney to do a good job they need a good home inspection report to start out with. It is unfortunate many home inspectors (even those who have been in the field for a while) simply have no idea how vital their job is to their clients economic well being. Many home inspectors are under the mistaken impression they work for real estate agents. New Jersey law and regulation quite clearly indicate Licensed New Jersey Home Inspectors are to work for the home buying client, not the home owner nor the real estate agent. Home inspectors who have been full time in the home inspection business since 1993, who taught NJ home inspection classes and have performed more than 6,000 home inspections are much more likely to be able to write the type home inspection report you will need to obtain concessions from home sellers than those who went to school for a few weeks and spent just one week in the field inspecting homes.
