Did you know your insulation could actually be installed the WRONG way? 🤔🏠

One common issue seen during home inspections is faced insulation being installed backwards. The paper or foil “facing” on insulation acts as a v***r barrier and is designed to face the conditioned living space of the home. When installed incorrectly, it can trap moisture where it shouldn’t be, potentially leading to mold, wood damage, and reduced insulation performance over time.

While it may seem like a small detail, proper insulation installation plays a big role in your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and moisture control.

This is just one of the many things we look for during a home inspection at Modern Home Inspections! 🔍

A properly inspected home today can help prevent costly surprises tomorrow.

💧 Water Heater Tip from Your Home Inspector 💧

Your water heater is one of the hardest working appliances in your home, but it’s also one of the most overlooked! During a home inspection, we often find issues that can affect safety, efficiency, and the lifespan of the unit.

Here are a few important things homeowners should keep an eye on:

✔️ Check the age Most water heaters last around 8–12 years
✔️ Make sure the TPR (temperature & pressure relief) valve is properly installed for safety
✔️ Look for signs of leaks, rust, or corrosion around the tank and plumbing connections
✔️ Ensure the venting system is secure and properly connected on gas units
✔️ Sediment buildup can reduce efficiency and shorten the life of the heater

A failing water heater can lead to expensive water damage or even safety hazards if issues go unnoticed. Regular maintenance and inspections can help catch problems early before they turn into major repairs.

At Modern Home Inspections, we inspect water heaters carefully to help keep our clients informed and protected

🔥 A Small Valve That Plays a BIG Safety Role 🔥

One important component I check during a home inspection is the TPR valve on the hot water heater. TPR stands for Temperature & Pressure Relief valve, and it’s designed to help prevent dangerous pressure or temperature buildup inside the tank.

A few common issues I often see include:
❌ Missing discharge pipe
❌ Discharge pipe made of improper materials
❌ Pipe terminating too high off the floor
❌ Capped or plugged discharge lines
❌ Signs of leaking around the valve

If a water heater overheats or builds excessive pressure, the TPR valve is designed to safely release that pressure. When improperly installed or modified, it can become a safety concern.

This is just one of the many safety items evaluated during a professional home inspection.

Important defect found during a recent inspection 🔍🏡

This photo shows a separated flue connection at the water heater vent pipe. When vent connections become loose or disconnected like this, exhaust gases including potentially dangerous carbon monoxide may not vent properly to the exterior of the home.

Issues like this can also allow excessive Carbon Monoxide and/or moisture into the attic space, which may contribute to wood deterioration over time.

Many defects are hidden in areas most homeowners never see, which is why a thorough home inspection is so important. Catching problems early can help protect both your safety and your investment.

If you’re buying, selling, or just want peace of mind about your home, Modern Home Inspections is here to help!
