Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. 5 year old house Garage floor recently replaced – why? Could not get down here 1 st time Strongly recommended opening the structural floor
  2. 1 year old floor (replaced after 4 years)
  3. I70 road cut E 470 bumps
  4. Both a footing pad and voided
  5. Picture non-load bearing Stairs on floating slabs should NOT have fixed connections Doors and windows jamb or break, therefore void under door Gas, W and S should be designed so they are completely isolated from areas of concern Furnace = boot
  6. “Homeowners in CO should accept the fact that flatwork will crack.” Reinforcement Drill foundations
  7. “Intercepts” ground water from higher elevations and flows it around the structure Area = Perimeter drains run out to street drains
  8. Slope = whole property Runoff = next to house
  9. Zeer-is-scape = coined by Denver Water Xeros = Greek for Dry
  10. Maintain slope, Clean gutters, Adjust sprinklers and don’t over water Inspect and caulk flatwork Maintain floor ventilation (Humidistat)
  11. Disclosure – New – responsibility of the builder to disclose evidence of soils hazards, including a soils report for each lot, including: -swell potential -observations -recommendations (engineering) Resale – “The presence of swelling soils may be considered an adverse material fact because it can affect the physical condition of, or cause defects in the property.” FD – the buyers own judgment and risk tolerance after being informed.
