Tristan asked:
Theres a house in town that caught on fire 15 years ago, but did not damage the exterior walls, a new roof was put on 4 years ago, but theres a a couple 15 foot square holes in the exterior walls. whats the likeliness that water and snow coming in through these holes has damaged the house beyond repair?

water damage
if the water didn’t get in, then critters probably did. After 15 years, there’s a good chance that something drastic has happened inside this house. If you buy it, expect to completely gut it.
water damage restoration
if your thinking of buying this house the holes need to be covered soon because water if left can cause black mold
mold remediation
After fifteen years, of course the house got “weathered” I wouldn’t want it on a bet now.
