I am selling my house, and the buyer's inspector is indicating that
there is no flashing between the deck and the house. Is this something
that I will need to repair? From my internet scanning, flashing between
the deck and house became a requirement by CABO 703.8 since 1995. Since
the house was built in 1991, I should not be required to fix this,
correct?

Here is the pertinent info:
House constructed in 1991 in North Carolina.
House has Abitibi hardboard siding.
Deck boards run perpindicular to the house.

The deck floor surface is about 1 foot above ground.

It is entirely possible that the deck is free standing and not attached
to the house, but I don't remember and I am unable to look at the
present time.

Thanks a bunch.

a lot of inspectors, especially the younger ones, only know (?) the current
code and not when different things were put in. we had one that insisted a
lot of the current codes were mandatory-to-fix in my 1970 built home that i
was trying to sell.
