Examples of Defects Identified During a Professional Inspection
|
|
The framing around this chimney is badly water damaged and the rafter has split.
|
This waste line is leaking into the crawlspace every time that the toilet is flushed. It was later found that the line had a nail shot into it during a bathroom renovation.
|
Ducts are often found to be disconnected or to have holes in them, especially in the crawlspace. This duct appears to have been torn by an animal.
|
Air-handling units in the crawlspace often rust out without the homeowners knowledge. The bottom of this unit was completely rusted out and blowing a substantial amount of conditioned air into the crawlspace.
|
This beam had separated and dropped approximately one inch, again without the knowledge of the homeowner. Prior to entering the crawlspace it was noted that the doors in a certain area were binding due to the settlement. This tipped the inspector to look for the dropped beam.

This is another example of ductwork that has disconnected within the crawlspace.
