Home Repair Building a Home

HOME BUILDING QUESTION

6 years ago

Inspector noted a broken truss on new home build! She also noted it was repaired. Is this a situation that should be reviewed privately?

Also, Inspector mentions that thing were missing water-proofing. How can I see this for myself? What would I look for?

Thank you so very much!

Broken trusses happen. Is the inspector satisfied with the truss repair or has it been flagged as being deficient? If the inspector is satisfied with the repair, I'd let it go.

The waterproofing will be on the exterior of the foundation.

The maker of the trusses should have been involved in the repair of their truss.

What waterproofing is missing?

"Window bucks at miter glass area, master bath, and sliding glass door area not water proofed!"

If that is so this is major. You are talking removing siding, doors and windows to flash and reinstall properly, Do you own this house yet? Tract Home or Developer Home I presume?
