Covered with insulation: The flooring is covered with insulation. Therefore, the inspection is limited.
Finished areas, no view behind walls, above ceilings, or other obstructions: Finished areas limit the inspection. The inspector does not inspect behind walls, above ceilings, or other obstructions which obstruct the inspector’s view.
Floor framing squeaks, not a structural deficiency: There are squeaks in the floor framing. Squeaks typically are the result of loose nails or other fasteners pulling in and out of the floor wood frame members, or joists rubbing against the sub-flooring. Squeaks do not constitute a structural deficiency.
Manufactured trusses composed of wood members and metal gusset plates: The floor framing includes manufactured trusses which are composed of wood members and metal gusset plates. Such trusses are not designed to be altered.
Moderate sloping/related interior door frame distortions throughout house, within acceptable parameters: There is moderate sloping in the floors and related interior door frame distortions throughout the house. The extent of sloping and distortion is within acceptable parameters for a building of this age and type construction, and appear to be a function of normal sagging in the floor system. No deflection or recent large crack patterns are visible to indicate that the conditions are ongoing. Thin diagonal wall cracks may continue to develop at the corners of some interior door frames; such cracks are considered cosmetic unless the cracks widen appreciably.
