|

Attic insulation too close chimney pipe.
This condition a fire risk.
|
|

Does this really need an explanation?
|
|

Rust indicates back drafting and flue
not secured - both are safety issues.
|
|

Gas supply line should not cross in front
of appliance.
|
|

Severe case of efflorescence.
|
|

Flat roof well past the replacement date.
|
|

|
|

Deteriorated flashing. This roof was
leaking in the attic below.
|
|

Poorly supported beam at edge of concrete
support column.
|
|

Chimney cap needing reapirs.
|
|

|
|

Gas leak (black), kinked line (white)
and this flex copper is not ok for gas use nor should it pass through a wall (blue).
|
|

Crushed bath vent in attic. Poorly sloped
too.
|
|

Nails should not be exposed on roof surfaces
but if so they should have a water tight seal.
|
|

Discharge pipe too short and bottom should
not be threaded.
|
|

Double tapped breaker and aluminum wiring.
|
|

Leaking condensate drain line for airconditioning
system.
|
|

Not the best way to support a plumbing
line.
|
Excessive length dryer vent.
|
|

This black hose was being used as a gas
line.
|
Another poorly supported beam.
|
|

Missing bushing. This is an electrical
safety hazard.
|
This electrical panel was loosely attached
to these scarp pieces of wood at the top and unsupported at the bottom.
|
|

These "electric eyes" should
be mounted at the base of the door on each side. This is not the way to maximize safety.
|
A downspout cut to size and used as a
water heater flue.
|
|

No overhang on roof shingle. This roof
was leaking in the garage.
|
Water filled gutter - the slope was reversed
ang there was a tennis ball stuck in the downspout.
|
|

How do you inspect this space?
|
|
|
|

This is the air supply duct to the 2nd
bedroom - there was no air entering the space because it collapsed on itself.
|
Soffit vent blocked by careless insulation
installer.
|
|
Damaged windows sill. Wall cavity saturating
bricks from inside out.
|
Supports and bracing should never be
cut.
|
|

Mold.
|
|
|
|

Basement water leak.
|
No fire damping. A fire in this area
can easily move to the upper floors.
|
|

Trapped moisture barrier.
