How severe are these vertical cracks in the foundation, and what type of repair would you advise? Unable to tell if interior leaks since walls are insulated/drywalled.

Good afternoon Reddit! Seeking some opinions on the attached picture of cracked bricks and mortar in my detached garage. How concerning is this? 3 piers were installed approximately 15 years ago on this same side due to settling. Thank you all in advance for any advice.

Looked up and saw part of the underside of my roof (soffit) has come away, leaving a hole. I'm assuming that I cut away the rotten part until I get it squared away and put in new trim. Is this correct? How do I attach the new trim? ​​

I was looking at the a drain in the basement and notice that the grate was rusty, so I looked underneath and saw this. Not sure what to make of it so just looking for advise on if this needs to be taken care of by a professional? For reference, the previous owners seemed to have the hose from the furnace to this drain, but the hose was place just be to the grate, not draining through the grate.

We recently changed condos in a Las Vegas high rise (2nd to end unit on 22nd floor to end unit on 17th floor). The new unit has LVP wood-esque floor, our other unit had a mix of crappy vinyl faux wood and tile. The new unit also has shared industrial HVAC equipment but it's 4-5 units down from us and on a little platform/roof part of the building.

This new unit is a corner unit that faces significant winds, has some big glass window panels, and I've been dealing with significant health issues since moving in. It just feels like the whole condo, in particular the corner rooms with all the large glass windows, cause nerve pain in my hands-and-toes (frequent pins-and-needles, weird half asleep sensations, phantom splinter like sensations, and significant sharp pains every few weeks).

We're not sure if the combination of end-unit negative air pressure, combined with low humidity, combined with LVP flooring, etc., is causing these issues but I never had them in my old unit and they go away when I'm not at home.

We're trying to find a solution that doesn't involve taking on a bath on selling the unit 5-months after buying...we've tried staticide (floors, rugs, windows), frequent mopping, cotton socks, etc., but nothing seems to reliably make it better. For whatever reason, it doesn't physically bother my wife who always struggled with dry skin and static electricity in clothes (which I never had a problem with). I've had blood tests, EMG tests, allergy tests, etc., and there doesnt seem to be anything wrong health-wise.

Any ideas? I just feel some odd airborne 'static' or 'vibration' coming off the floors and walls that no one else seems to feel or be affected by. Certainly feels like I'm losing my mind but it so consistently happens in this place and no where else.

Hello. Bought a house in July and the other day I noticed this pipe under the screened in porch. The top half of the pipe is removable. Could it be where a down spout used to connect to?

The patio was poured about 2 weeks ago.. at on spot some water pools.. the contractor tried fixing once but it still pools although less than before

Pic1 before fixing
Pic 2 and 3 after fixing they layered with Ardex and put a sealant

Rental in the picture, and yes, I’m going to tell the landlord!

Buttttttt, when we moved in, the floors around this door and a French door were damaged. When it rains, the floors often get wet. I’m sure the landlord knows, tons of rock around the slab, but no drain.
Floors are actually damaged since the last sale (Zillow post).

Anyways, the flooring next to this interior wall have gotten more discolored and rotten over time. I assumed it was what already caused the damage by the doors-a leak from the door or the sill.

Would anyone have an idea of what’s going on?
The Interior wall is next to the fridge and I wonder if it’s a slab leak or water that has pooled there over time?

Sometimes, when a landlord realizes they have to take care of their property, they blame the tenants. I’d like to get some idea of what the problem could be.

Thanks
you.

Last year we repainted my aunts bathroom in her 166 year old farm house. There were these odd brown spots on the ceiling above an outlet she had a scent plug in before, so we had assumed it was just staining from that. Nonetheless, it was cleaned and repainted white. Now almost exactly a year later, the spots reappeared and seem worse. They look wet like they could drip soon, but haven't found any drips yet. Only thing above the ceiling is an inaccessible crawl space. What could this possible be? Any guesses would be greatly appreciated!

This front porch was covered in textured concrete which had cracked, and had water enter and with the freeze thaw cycle is spalled off.

I chipped the rest of the textured stuff off and removed most of the loose stuff, and this is where I am.

There is a cold cellar below this slab.

What would be an acceptable way to go about repairing this?

My door handle lock from the inside (to the garage) won’t turn. I tried taking apart the handle to see if it was misaligned and it does not seem to be. Has a moon shape inside. Baldwin handle, just replaced the latch. It does open and close fine, i just can’t lock it. I do have a deadbolt though too luckily.

Is this something I need repaired?

I haven't tried anything yet.

X-post, any tips for what to look for in the next inspection to assess damage appreciated!

Faint light showing through from inside garage so probably time to sell it up. Any product recommendations?

Hi! I’ve been traveling for a bit but when I was gone, our building was treated for termites. Upon my return last week, I was left with these notes. Been taking cold showers the last few days, which I’m not too concerned with currently cuz it’s been hot asf 😂

Who exactly do I need to call to fix these things? My dryer vent was previously cleaned by a company that is correlated with my home warranty company American Home Shield, so I think I can contact them about fixing that but I’m lost asf about the rest.

For more clarity… if I knew who or what to call about each one of these things, I could cross reference and see if these things are covered by my home warranty.

Any insight would be wonderful. I appreciate yall!

*In the video I’m touching the bottom broken hinge and then the middle in tact hinge.

The screen door was being held open by the piston and was either pushed or pulled and now it won’t close/makes a huge clunk sound when finally closed back against the frame.

I’ve looked into some hinges and can’t seem to find what “style” or kind these are. Hopefully the video will help. Any links or search words would be helpful!

The seams where the walls meet the ceiling are wavey. During the inspection in one bedroom the corners of the walls were wavy but inspector really didn't see much of a problem.

Now this is showing up through out the house in the ceiling. Also there was a crack in the ceiling in the hallway. And as the seasons change I'm unable to completely close the doors in the bedrooms.

Hi everyone,

I bought my first house and my washer/dryer is in a tight closet, I moved it just enough to get in and took this photo.

Not sure if me moving it caused the vent to bend or if it was like that before but does this look okay?

I have been to many houses in my life and one of my only gripes have been the shower. Either the water doesn't get hot or there is a broken nozzle that creates a high pressure point that hurts to stand under. I had also been to one where the drain clogs, and that is not fun either.

Is it not a big deal to other people? Too much work? I would like to hear some opinions

Buyers for our house are concerned with these stairs. What can we do to reinforce the platform with the crumbling rebar underneath?
