INTERIOR:
Walls and ceilings should be inspected for cracks
in interior finishes. The amount of movement should
be noted so that it can be monitored in the future.
Bulges in wall and ceiling surfaces should be
carefully monitored. Separated plaster, particularly
on ceilings, can fall and cause injury.
Walls, particularly in comers and areas of dead
air (behind drapes for example), should be checked
for evidence of condensation and mildew indicating
high humidity levels within the house. Water stains
on interior finishes should be noted. If the source
cannot be detected, they should be monitored.
Door frames should be inspected. Door frames
which become out of square during a relatively
short period (six months) may indicate structural
problems.
Condensation on windows indicates high humidity
levels during winter months. This can sometimes
lead to rot.
Fireplaces and chimneys should be cleaned and
inspected at least annually, depending upon usage.
