Chemicals
At an inspection yesterday out in the country, I found some nearly empty barrels of some unknown fluids stored in the pump house. While going into the crawlspace the first thing I noticed was a familiar site, black beams and joists. I assume it’s creosote but recommend they make sure it’s disposed of properly before closing.
I know that creosote is not good for us or our environment, however, I don’t recall seeing termite problems in any of these creosote covered crawlspaces.
