Defect: The crawlspace has been contaminated by moisture. It is likely that
a significant amount has actually stood and left a high water mark. The foundation
and its components need to be evaluated by a mold specialist; foundation walls,
posts and piers and intermediate floor framing need to be evaluated by a foundation
contractor; and the site itself should be be evaluated by a licensed geo-technical
specialist or evaluated for service by a grading and drainage contractor.
