The footing has dropped allowing the rock to separate from the house.

The crack in the rock wing wall indicate the footing has shifted and allowed a large crack to separate the wing wall from the main house. Repairs to the footing should be made to close the gap and repair the mortar.

Missing connectors at intersecting cords.

The home inspection reveals improper connection at the bottom truss cords. There is about a 1″ gap at the intersecting cords, with the proper connectors this would not have happened. I recommended consulting the engineered truss detail sheet to find the proper way the cords should be connected and also to consult with the engineer to determine if any repairs are needed.
Please leave any comments or schedule an inspection at 512 639 9905.

Bob Kenworthy – Thanks Charles Schiller at Gateway Inspections for inspecting the new house! His extensive experience as a builder shows! He found a couple potentially major issues with our new home! Www.roundrockhomeinspector.com August 3 at 11:37am via Facebook for iPhone

Too much weight on the attic joists!

This stack of brick found in an attic on a  home inspection in Round Rock, TX revealed a crack in the ceiling sheet rock below this stack of brick and tile. The ceiling joist where not designed to carry the load located over the garage area.

The home inspection in Round Rock, Texas revealed a large dent in the HVAC return air plenum. This could allow for warm moist unfiltered attic air to leak into the return air system and cause problems with additional condensation and buildup on the coil.

“I know that Charles Schiller has years of experience and training as a home builder and inspector. I felt very confident that he would thoroughly and accurately inspect the home that I wanted to buy. I would know the actual condition of the house.

Although the seller insisted that there were no problems to be found with the house, Charles did find some things that needed correction.

His findings resulted in a $1000.00 allowance at closing. I knew what needed correction and I was not left having to bear the expense of the corrections. When you are buying real estate, the inspector is the person who works for you (is paid by you) and is your advocate.”

DK, Homebuyer in Georgetown, TX

“Buying or building a house can cause a multitude of anxiety. My husband and I felt these feelings when we decided to buy our first home.

Charles Schiller with Gateway Inspections Inc. helped calm many of our fears. Charles was very professional and did a very thorough inspection. He took his time and went over every area of the house in great detail.

The inspection report revealed two major areas of concern and a few minor problems. The cost of the inspection was offset by the savings of not having to replace the major issues ourselves.

The additional peace of mind I found, from knowing that the house we planned to purchase had been reviewed so closely, made the process of purchasing a home a lot more pleasant.

Thank you Gateway Inspections!”
