essential to keeping your home solid and intact. Things such as termite damage and water problems can compromise the integrity of these beams, trusses and joists, causing your floor or roof to sag and, in extreme cases, part of your home to collapse. Sometimes, also, ill-conceived remodeling will damage or compromise a structural beam without the home owner realizing it. The home inspector will make sure that the structural components are intact and that they haven't been damaged or compromised by weather or other elements.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc29563 elementor-view-stacked elementor-shape-circle elementor-position-block-start elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"bc29563\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" id=\"Capa_1\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 358 358\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 358 358;\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><g>\t<g>\t\t<g>\t\t\t<rect x=\"54\" y=\"97\" width=\"142\" height=\"72\"><\/rect>\t\t\t<path d=\"M115,76V5H0v72h114.9C114.8,77,115,76.3,115,76z\"><\/path>\t\t\t<path d=\"M115,189.9c0-0.3-0.1-0.9-0.1-0.9H0v72h115V189.9z\"><\/path>\t\t\t<path d=\"M277,261v-71.1c0.1-0.3,0.2-0.6,0.4-0.9H134.8c0.1,0.3,0.2,0.6,0.2,0.9V261H277z\"><\/path>\t\t\t<path d=\"M277,76V5H135v71c0,0.3-0.1,0.7-0.2,1h142.6C277.2,76.7,277,76.4,277,76z\"><\/path>\t\t\t<rect y=\"97\" width=\"34\" height=\"72\"><\/rect>\t\t\t<rect x=\"216\" y=\"97\" width=\"142\" height=\"72\"><\/rect>\t\t\t<path d=\"M297,189.9V261h61v-72h-60.7C297.2,189.3,297.1,189.6,297,189.9z\"><\/path>\t\t\t<rect y=\"281\" width=\"34\" height=\"72\"><\/rect>\t\t\t<path d=\"M297,5v71c0.1,0.3,0.2,0.7,0.3,1H358V5H297z\"><\/path>\t\t\t<rect x=\"54\" y=\"281\" width=\"142\" height=\"72\"><\/rect>\t\t\t<rect x=\"216\" y=\"281\" width=\"142\" height=\"72\"><\/rect>\t\t<\/g>\t<\/g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><g><\/g><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWalls\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSometimes structural walls get compromised by a house shifting slightly over time.

For one thing, it gives him or her a good look at the foundation and support beams of the house. Bowed or crumbling walls indicate a likely foundation problem. Cracked beams or those with evidence of insect activity are also a problem. In addition, basements often have water problems, especially in low lying areas. Lastly, a basement frequently houses the building's mechanical systems, such as the furnace and water heater, and the inspector can access these important systems while checking out the basement.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c89753 elementor-view-stacked elementor-shape-circle elementor-position-block-start elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"9c89753\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"Capa_1\" height=\"512\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" width=\"512\"><path d=\"m120.5 0h271v63.05h-271z\"><\/path><path d=\"m195.349 451.952c.334 33.167 27.406 60.048 60.651 60.048s60.317-26.881 60.651-60.048z\"><\/path><path d=\"m241 93.05v91.95h-50.04v67.541c-78.963 7.573-140.92 74.281-140.92 155.195v14.217h411.92v-14.217c0-80.914-61.957-147.622-140.92-155.195v-67.541h-50.04v-91.95z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCeilings\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA good look at a ceiling can tell the inspector quite a bit about the structure.
