Stephen Hill Building Inspection Services

Some of the random stuff we see on job sites. This was part of a 10 year builders warranty inspection. Can you guess how many bottles are blocking the egress? #homeinspection #inspection #theymustbethirsty #roofview #commercial #residential #realestate #property #inspector #bayarea #sanmateo #doyouneedaninspection

With deck safety in the spotlight due to some recent injuries in SF. I would like to show some telltale signs of damage to exterior walkways. If the nails holding your decking boards are rusting, it is more than likely the conditions for dry rot are in full swing. The moss growing out of the rotted wood is just icing on the cake. #inspection #inspector #dryrot #sanfrancisco #codes #safety #property #properties #home #house #realestate #family #fun #moisture #growth #certified #homeinspection #ask #deck #rust #moss #board #unsafe #homeinspector #realtors #604 #homebuyer #buy #sell #condo #invest #milliondollarlisting

It's good to assess damage after a major storm has passed. Many trees fell, power went out and this roof lost quite a few of it's shingles. #inspection #inspector #leak #sanfrancisco #codes #safety #property #properties #home #house #realestate #family #fun #moisture #mold #certified #homeinspection #ask #roof #windy #flying #shingles #homeinspector #realtors #homebuyer #buy #sell #condo #invest #milliondollarlisting

Try to keep an eye out for how rain diverts away from your home. This gutter has the necessary slope to help water flow but has a clogged downspout which can lead to water intrusion. #inspection #inspector #leak #sanfrancisco #codes #safety #property #properties #home #house #realestate #family #fun #moisture #mold #certified #homeinspection #ask #homeinspector #realtors #homebuyer #buy #sell #condo #invest #milliondollarlisting
