Inspection of decks and terraces are an important part of the home inspection process. If the home is old, there could be structural problems. There are times when work is installed by
a homeowner who does not have construction competence.
The above photo taken during a home inspection shows a deficiently supported wooden deck. In this instance, the Engineer not only uncovered the
deficiently supported deck, but also provided a remedy for resupporting the deck
This is an important reason why home buyers should retain the services of a licensed Professional Engineer to
conduct their home inspection rather than a non-engineer inspector (whether or not the inspector holds a license as a home inspector or not).
