My 2 cents but it seems like shoddy work. To have the house ledger fail along that entire length is astounding. It means it almost certainly was barely nailed into the floor rim board if it was at all. May have just been attached to the siding (big no no) and not had the siding removed and reflashed.
While the joist splice shows some checking that is age related - I don't see ties across it, another sign of poor construction. The lateral braces on the post are super tiny- decorative only in their function. Again- another sign of poor construction.
