After listing the roof covering in the next three photos as beyond repair,                           I was still asked the questions "But does it leak"?












Can't find a clean out plug? Just use a 2 liter soft drink






Flexible dryer vent used for AC/Heat duct in attic.                                                        Creative but not effective. No insulation on pipe or above bonus room.




Stove vent hood with no duct running to the exterior of the home. This has been this way since the home was built.   No hole was cut in the ceiling to install a duct pipe.

Well, there is insulation above the "old" ceiling, however,
the new dropped ceiling has no insulation.





Power needed at the out building in the back yard
so the homeowner decided to pull it from the
existing AC compressor breaker box. Bad choice.






The following 3 photos were taken in a crawlspace
of parts of an AC/Heat system. The seller was told by the
HVAC contractor, who was a friend of a friend, that everything
was in good condition.









 

50 Gallon Water Heater...2 Gallon Pan...No Drain Line

 





I was so thankful when I was told I was at the wrong address

This is a dryer vent at the front of a home.
  "What was this builder thinking"?







This is a completed electrical panel on a "flip" house.
This screams "do it yourself"



Squirrel that chewed on an electrical cable in an attic.
This can cause house fire. (Squirrels Gone Wild)




The repairs in this home were substandard...
This was found in the bathroom window and tells the whole story



Water leaking from a bad tub spout connection may spray                                           behind tub and cause damage to wall cavity behind fiberglass.

Pier located in a crawlspace. They wondered why                                                             the floor shook when walked on

This deck has no lags connecting it to the side of the home.
It was installed on top of decorative brick that
is now pulling away from the home.



Damaged support beneath beam in crawlspace.                                                                  Maybe it was in the way of the electrical wiring




The movement in the masonry block foundation wall was easily noted in the report by the paint drip as well as the ledge or lip created by the movement. This home is on a ravine lot as in the diagram below. This can indicate a larger problem and should be fully evaluated.

This "live" wire was found beneath the kitchen sink in a
brand new constructed home. It was run for a
garbage disposal which was not going to be installed.
Very dangerous










I have no idea why the critters didn't run
before the fireplace was lit









Operating AC / Heat with no Filter
Produces dirty Coils in Air Handler








Burnt sheathing on conductors in electrical panel




Dedicated breaker for AC / Furnace air handler located
next to a light switch in the furnace closet. Wouldn't be
to good reaching in to turn on the closet light.




NO Radios on top of hot tubs !!!!!!!  CLICK HERE

This is wiring for an "addition room". Instead
of pulling a circuit from the panel,
wiring was tied into an existing junction box.










This GFCI was in a bathroom approximately 2 feet from a shower









Leak in furnace exhaust duct in two locations in attic.
Gases and possibly carbon monoxide is
  being deposited into attic space

















Found this outlet in a child's room between a wall and a crib. I don't think the
child protection is doing much good here













This water heater was installed in an attic.
The hood for exhaust gas duct is sitting behind pipe.
This has been depositing gases
into this attic since 2004
when the unit was installed.










And my favorite!! The sticker below was attached to an electrical panel. This should tell them there is a problem and to call an electrician to evaluate the problem and repair it
