Second Home Inspection for First Floor Framing/Fo i dation Issues
I
Dear Janet, j
At your request,I visited the reference property on Monday Jamh 26. You currently reside at
this address and you are considering the property for purchase. Yqu reported that you have had
your home inspection in anticipation of the purchase of the prope , and that inspection has
identified potential structural issues in the visible fast floor framing. Please note that this report
is limited to the visible structure and the perimeter of the house at grade. The majority of the
house framing is concealed from view, and we can only speculate on its condition. We did not
observe exterior envelope,and no other building systems are discussed,whether plumbing or
electrical,fire protection,or egress. Following are our observations and
conclusions/recommendations based on an initial walk through at the property. For the purposes
of this letter report,the front of the house faces west.
Observations: The house is an antique timber framing with early timber Joinery. The house is
two-story,two family colonial style,with a front house,back house,and a detached concrete
block garage. The house has a combination of cut granite block acid rubble stone foundations.
The front house has a full foundation,whereas the back house has a crawl space with little
access. The first floor framing is partially hewn joist mortise and tenoned into timber main
beams. The partially hewn nature of the framing leaves portions of the partially rounded original
log at the bottom or bottom outside corners. The joinery with mouse and tenons generally was
done with deep cuts in the joist for the tenons, and shallow cuts in the carrying beam for the
mortises. The joist tenons were eased by sloping gradually from the tenon pocket to the bottom
of the joist,which reduces stresses in the cut and potential crackinI
We saw evidence of rot and insect damage in the first floor fram1g. Where observed,the
damage ended abruptly and did not extend deep into the wood member. The exception may be
the perimeter sills which are suspect.When sills rot,they generally do so by losing the outer
triangular portion of the sill that includes the bottom and outside face,while the inside face can
appear to be very solid. To evaluate this condition in detail,we use a"resistograph,"which is a
drilling device that measures the resistance of the wood past its visible faces,and up to 21"deep.
We recommend that a resistograph survey be done of the full perimeter to determine the extent of
5 Daniels Street Structures North Consult Engrs.
Salem,MA 29 January 2015
Page 2 of 3
damage. Based on observations of the exterior,we can see that much of the sill is below exterior
grade,and needs to be excavated,waterproofed,and replaced where rot damaged.
Vertical support of timber beams in the basement consists of untreated wood posts,which are
subject to rot damage where moisture rises from the basement slab.
From within the basement we observed numerous deficiencies,including rot damaged timber
sills, insect damage on surfaces of the timber framing,deeply checked timber beams,
deterioration of the brick chimney base on the west face of the chimney,marginal support of
timber beams at intersecting framing,wood posts supported directly on slab on grade,and a
timber beam that is unsupported at the front wall timber sill.
From the exterior we noted that the driveway(south)and rear(east) sides of the house have the
shingle siding touching grade,and the timber sill occurs below grade. This condition makes the
siding, sheathing, and timber sill subject to rot, and must be corrected for long term viability.
From within the garage,we observed efflorescence on the inside of the block, indicating that
moisture is coming through the relatively porous concrete block, and is leaching salts. The
center concrete filled steel column base has lost the steel shell,so that only the concrete core of
the column remains. The outside post supporting the second floor overhang of the back house is
similarly deteriorated.
Conclusions/Recommendations: Antique timber framing has the appearance of being
deteriorated due to areas of insect damage,frequent checked timbers, and deeply notched mortise
and tenon joinery. A test on the floors by jumping does not reveal soft areas that would make
this framing suspect. The wood in apparently damaged areas is solid when probed with a
screwdriver. A resistograph survey is recommended for the perimeter sill where it occurs at or
near grade.
Wood posts in direction contact with the basement slab should be changed out with steel pipe
columns on concrete pads. Cap plates on the columns should fully support intersecting beams.
The basement crawl space should be accessed for further detailed examination of conditions in
the limited access space. For the purposes of this report,we assume that the conditions in the
crawl space are similar to that which is readily accessible.
An unsupported beam end at the front(west) side of the house adjacent to the electrical panel
should be resupported on treated wood blocking on the face of the foundation wall.

Salem,MA 29 January 2015
Page 3 of 3
The east face of the chimney brick where it is deteriorated should a rebuilt with new bricks.
The perimeter sill on the south and east faces of the house is suspert due to proximity to grade.
We recommend that the bottom shingle siding be removed,the sill replaced where deteriorated,
and then waterproofed using membrane waterproofing. Flashing should extend to.above grade,
and a new treated wood water table should be added at the bottom above the grade level so that
no wood is in contact with grade.
The exposed steel column supporting the back house second floor overhang should be replaced
with a new galvanized steel column with proper cap and base plate, and supported on an existing
or new concrete pad.
The concrete filled pipe column in the garage should be replaced i 4th a new steel pipe column
with cap and base plates shop welded to the column.
Photographs of the above conditions will be provided upon request.
Report Limitations: This report is summary of readily visible conditions and was conducted
during a single site visit to the property. It is strictly visual and includes only observations for the
foundation, first floor framing,and perimeter exterior base of the house conditions noted: No
undisclosed conditions were investigated and no calculations havc been performed to determine
whether the house structure complies with past or present buildin codes. Further detailed
examination of existing conditions could affect the conclusions ar d recommendations of this
report. Other building systems are not evaluated including mechimical,electrical, and plumbing.
We hope that the above information provides you the information you need to proceed with you
consideration of the purchase of this home. If we can be of furthe r assistance in evaluating the
existing conditions of framing of the house for the noted conditioi is, please do not hesitate to
contract this office.
Very Truly Yours,
