Serious conditions may exist bellow.  Not every Inspection catches important
defects.  Many go unnoticed during the original home inspection when the home
was purchased.  At first glance, everything appeared to be proper with this beam.

the same damage.  The repair in this case was quick and not intrusive.  However,
had this condition not been called to attention, the beams could have collapsed
and caused the floor and the structure to drop.  Repairs at that stage would have
been very expensive and disruptive.
