Can you spot the two missing shingles near the replaced ones at upper left? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/1616780141071-LGY4R3DUAOK0APHLUY2O/DSCN0382.JPG Going Deep Decent repair or future problem? Are we seeing both? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/1616794090430-164Q5AYV7CHQVV62491D/DSCN0489.JPG Going Deep Horizontal cracks in the shingles are spaced the same as the width of the roof boards, suggesting that excessive expansion & contraction of the boards has stressed the shingles. See below for further analysis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/1616794516694-GGD6S1G3T4PRD4H4ZE6Z/DSCN0394.JPG Going Deep Discoloration is often primarily a cosmetic issue. A little zinc from the plumbing vent flashing, dissolved and carried downslope by rainwater, has prevented growth of the mostly-harmless algae darkening most of the roof. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/1616868260081-7YOBK5HD6BZ7XD68M1DR/DTF+002.jpg Going Deep Someone had a brainstorm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/1616868290838-HOCLTJ4M3URB2ARHWBF4/DTF+005.jpg Going Deep That might have worked better in Phoenix https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/1617832878302-55UQT8HMKT844A8TQVFQ/DSCN1752.JPG Going Deep What’s this pipe, I asked myself? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/1617832961982-YTFF6JR9RNP4181KOQWJ/DSCN1769.JPG Going Deep Turned out, it was part of the drain system for the flat roof of this 1910s fourplex. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/f42fd664-2c26-466d-aa59-c49c7719d157/DSCN0103.JPG Going Deep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/e5e54952-3865-4d47-b022-3c2aa1d68243/DSCN1828.JPG Going Deep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/4dc8a216-44c7-4b43-acd4-7fede73b5449/DSCN1780.JPG Going Deep https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/20c3022f-9fca-49f2-8999-778a9d53d965/DSCN4613.JPG Going Deep Crank housing is cracked, likely from the stress of repeatedly opening & closing a binding sash. With housing cracked, crank gears slip, so window is inoperable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/47a032d8-e390-4aab-b98d-95c7bed849d3/DSCN4581.JPG Going Deep Sash would open at bottom, but not top. Sash is paint-stuck or binding at top, or upper latch won't release. This could lead to a damaged crank like in photo at left. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/ecab601e-916c-40fe-9971-d3174e58984c/DSCN4582.JPG Going Deep Date sticker is of type used in replacement panes. Window unit itself is likely much older. Cracked paint shows age, condensation and/or repeated stresses on trim. https://hearthstoneinspections.net/services daily 0.75 2023-12-02 https://hearthstoneinspections.net/covid19 daily 0.75 2022-11-11 https://hearthstoneinspections.net/specialties-1-1 daily 1.0 2023-02-27 https://hearthstoneinspections.net/specialties-1-1-1 daily 0.75 2021-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/1620428357381-3MJOOSIL1SCHS7G4QRLB/ASHI+Logo+ACI+May2021.png Specialties (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) alt=”https://www.homeinspector.org” https://hearthstoneinspections.net/specialties-new-copy daily 0.75 2021-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043c6d3cf5af74e6a699790/1620428357381-3MJOOSIL1SCHS7G4QRLB/ASHI+Logo+ACI+May2021.png Specialties New (Copy) alt=”https://www.homeinspector.org” https://hearthstoneinspections.net/testimonials daily 0.75 2022-11-11
