New Door And Damaged Jamb
Someone has installed a new door in back of this
house. They did not replace the door jam and it looks like it needs some
repairs and paint.
Whenever you run into a situation like this, while doing your home
inspections, you should always find out why the door was replaced. If
you're thinking about purchasing this house and you find out, that the
door was actually kicked in, because someone broke into the house. This
could prompt you to find out a little more about the neighborhood.
Looking at the door jam and the paint damage. Gives me clues that the
door was destroyed by moisture. Find out where the moisture is coming
from before this door is also destroyed in the near future.
When you do a home inspection for yourself, you can find the answers to
questions that a licensed home inspector has no interest in knowing.
They're only inspecting the home for damage and to fill out a report if
there are any problems, directly related to the house.
You on the other hand, as a potential homeowner, will have it in your
best interest to gather as much information about the neighborhood,
surrounding areas, crime and other things that could affect your home
purchase decision.
