Hello everyone,
I know it’s a bit like looking into a crystal ball, but still a question for you: I was with my brother at a viewing of an apartment (two-family house), he would like to buy the ground-floor apartment (built in 1994, in a construction-year-typical overall condition, at least from the inside). What caught my eye on the outside are the plaster damages on the base. Are these presumably damages due to the missing gravel layer and thus from splashing water, or rather damages from, for example, flooding (it is located in a flood area). Unfortunately, nothing is known about the construction method. The picture shows a part of the exterior basement wall. With my crystal ball laser thermometer/moisture meter, I scanned all the basement walls inside (the temperature was 9.4°C and I still have to check the humidity). Now, you can say a lot about these devices, but my father-in-law (building surveyor) also used one on our construction site, and I went over it with our crystal ball device afterwards, and the trend actually matched!). Overall, the apartment is fine, but the basement and the exterior wall make me thoughtful, especially since there is a gravel layer on one side and this base problem is there too... What do you think?
