Home Inspection 7021 E 121st Pl Thornton, CO 80602

Gutters were full of debris or granules in areas and need to be cleaned. The debris in gutters can clog drainage, or be sign gutters are sloped improperly – Either of which may cause problems by overflowing to introduce excessive amounts of moisture to the soil beneath the foundation. Excessive moisture in the soil supporting the foundation can affect its ability to support the weight of the structure above and may cause foundation damage from soil movement. 

Debris in gutters can also conceal rust, deterioration, or leaks that are not visible until cleaned.

This may be due to: water pressure too high, worn plumbing components, mineral build-up, or other issues that could only be discovered by dismantling the plumbing components.

The toilet was loose on the floor. This condition typically is caused by loose bolts or nuts and/or missing floor seals.
