does anyone know what voltage line it is? does newer neighborhood have this high voltage line buried underground nowadays? this is in the backyard of residential home in Naperville, IL
I am trying to hire a structural engineer to evaluate a hairline horizontal crack that branches off from a vertical crack in the b asement of the h ome i am interested in purchasing.
One structural engineer charges $700, including a written report, but said that the evaluation would focus on whether the structure is structurally sound at this time. He said he would not determine the cause of the crack or won’t be able to say whether it will remain structurally sound in the future.
Another structural engineer charges $1,100, including a written report, and said he would investigate the cause of the crack. However, he is requesting the blueprints, which are not available from the current o wner.
Is it normal for a structural engineer to evaluate whether a structure is structurally sound without determining the underlying cause of a crack? My concern is that if the cause is not identified, the root problem may not be addressed, and there is no way to know whether the condition could worsen in the future.
For additional context, the crack is located at a corner, and the wall with the crack is behind and below the g arage floor. I am particularly concerned about understanding how the g arage is supported and whether the g arage loads could be relevant to the cracking. The house was built in 2006.
I wonder if I just give up on this h ome.
I found this horizontal crack in the basement that I am interested in buying. The house was built in 2006 and the current owner bought in 2022. Is this a stay away type of home? What does this horizontal crack tell you?
We're interested in a home that backs onto a forest preserve, but across the street from the forest is another row of homes that back directly onto a golf course. The house we're considering is about 320 feet from the edge of the golf course property.
It's been difficult to find homes that are more than a mile from any golf course, so I'm trying to figure out whether 320 feet is considered uncomfortably close from an exposure standpoint.
The home uses lake water, so it doesn't share groundwater with the golf course. From what I've been able to learn, the golf course does not use glyphosate, paraquat, rotenone, chlorpyrifos, or maneb, but it does use 2,4-D.
My main concern is long-term health risks from pesticide drift, particularly the risk of Parkinson's disease and cancer. Is 320 feet away from the golf course still a hard no when most of the homes are within 1 mile of the golf course?

Everything looks fine with the (van gogh pikachu) card except this. What are the chances I get a PSA 10?
We’re interested in a home, but the entire exterior is stucco (likely traditional stucco). After reading about stucco-related water intrusion and hidden damage issues, we’re starting to have second thoughts.
The house was built in 2013 and is around $3M. At that price point, it already has a small pool of buyers. My concern is whether the stucco exterior would shrink that buyer pool even further.
Do alot of buyers hate stucco homes? Have stucco homes in Illinois been an issue to sell?
The house we're interested in is a luxury home in Illinois. The entire exterior is traditional stucco. (The EIFS inspector quickly walked through and said it looks like traditional stucco) The owner built the home in 2013 and believed stucco was low-maintenance, so no cracks have ever been repaired and no stucco maintenance has been performed.
After researching stucco and the potential for water intrusion, we're becoming concerned about both existing hidden damage and future damage. We're also worried that it could make the home harder to sell down the road.
in the Midwest, is traditional stucco considered a red flag? Do buyers tend to avoid stucco homes here?
first pic is the damage by car backing out from the driveway, and the rest are some cracks I found from 30 seconds look.
the third picture is the damage from car scratching the corner. the property is in Illinois.
In just one week, I've noticed at least 6 luxury homes (>1.7M) listed in East Highlands, including private listings. That seems like an unusually large number coming onto the market at the same time. Is there something happening in East Highlands that's prompting homeowners to sell, or is this just a coincidence? They all seem to be overpriced...
they are on the same street. can anyone tell me what voltage it is? it is bigger than the regular distribution poles. thanks!
