About this file

This is a Home Inspection Report prepared by Elite Choice Inspections for Clay County, Florida, dated June 16, 2025, for the property located at 2651 Sapp Lane, Middleburg, FL 32068. Inspector Gregory King conducted a comprehensive inspection and identified multiple defects requiring remediation across exterior, plumbing, foundation, and structural components. The inspection details extensive damage to siding with gaps and missing sections, a degraded exterior door with rotted framing, loose and rotted deck boards, exposed drain piping, improper floor joist alterations with inadequate support posts, evidence of water intrusion causing wood rot in the crawlspace, a floor joist that has fallen loose, falling insulation in the crawlspace, and observed pest activity throughout the home.

The inspection report documents critical structural defects that require professional remediation, including recommendations for a licensed structural engineer to evaluate and correct improper joist installations and inadequate foundation support. The identified water intrusion and moisture issues present ongoing concerns for the structural integrity of the property. Pest infestation has been documented and requires evaluation by a qualified pest specialist. These findings directly correlate with the related CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) contract opportunity for Housing Foundation and Substructure Rehabilitation Services at the same property address, indicating that Clay County is seeking qualified contractors to address the foundation and substructure deficiencies identified in this inspection report.
