| In the picture above the black circle
represents an area where a tree could have been removed. If you notice
the sidewalk is raised up slightly and there is a low spot in the ground
in front of the sidewalk.
I examined the brick wall and there is a large vertical crack in it and
this is a good sign of tree root problems. It probably wouldn't be hard
to dig a small hole, less than 12 inches deep to find clues, whether
there was a tree there were not.
Don't forget to ask the homeowners or even one of the neighbors about
the tree or other items of interest while doing your home inspection.
If the tree was removed, find out why and if there was more damage
caused from the tree.
Clues like this could lead to questions and answers that would benefit
your home inspection.
