Phillip Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 A little while back there was a damaged rat slab in a crawlspace and some said report it and others said it was not a problem. It a crawlspace I run across these two items. I would like to here if you would report as a repair or just note it in the report. The report was done last week and later I will let you know what I did. Thanks Click to Enlarge 45.24?KB See post #3 for other photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 That nice house deserves a real foundation. I would definitely call out those crappy piers and that little pile of shims. I would call for a properly installed vapor barrier as well. I can't tell if those notches are too deep in those joists, but I guess they are ok. We don't build like that here. Those joists would be resting on a beam with a lap joint if that was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillip Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 The notches are for the ledger board which support the joist. This is a standard set of flaming around here. I do not like the wood shims. they should be steel. I write the shims up all the time. I wondering have much effect the damage to the block is going to have on the column. We also have beams with lap joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
