During a standard bathroom inspection, I evaluate the shower/tub, toilet, electrical components, sink fixtures, and ventilation. Proper ventilation is essential for controlling moisture and preventing mold or long‑term home damage.

Why do dishwasher air gaps matter?
They’re the most reliable, code‑approved protection against backflow. An air gap stops dirty sink or disposal water from siphoning back into your dishwasher—protecting sanitation, plumbing safety, and your family’s health.
A small device with a big job.

🔧 Know What’s Safe to Inspect — and When to Call a Professional
Homeowners can safely check simple items like filters, GFCI outlets, smoke detectors, and basic maintenance tasks. But when it comes to electrical panels, roofs, crawlspaces, gas appliances, or anything requiring specialized tools or training, it’s best to step back.

A licensed home inspector knows what to look for, how to access it safely, and how to identify defects without putting anyone at risk.

Your safety matters — hire a professional.

A detailed plumbing inspection is essential for understanding a home’s condition. I check visible supply and drain piping, fixture operation, water heater safety, drainage performance, and any signs of leaks or improper materials.

These findings help buyers plan for maintenance, repairs, or upgrades with confidence.

Galvanized water lines are still occasionally found in older NYS homes. These pipes are prone to internal corrosion, reduced flow, and eventual leakage. Many buyers ask about them, and some insurance carriers view them as a concern.

When galvanized piping is present, I recommend evaluation by a licensed plumber to discuss replacement options and long‑term reliability.

🏠🔥 Chimney Height Clearances Matter
Proper chimney height is critical for safe draft performance and reducing the risk of back‑drafting or smoke spillage. A chimney that’s too short can struggle to vent properly, especially in windy conditions or near taller roof sections.

During inspections, I look for:
• Adequate height above the roofline
• Proper clearance from nearby structures
• Safe termination relative to roof pitch
• Signs of poor draft or soot staining

If the chimney appears undersized or improperly terminated, further evaluation by a qualified chimney professional is recommended.

One of the most valuable parts of a home inspection is learning where the gas shutoff valves are located. I identify the main shutoff at the meter and the appliance shutoffs so buyers know exactly how to respond in an emergency.

Accessible, properly installed shutoff valves are essential for safe operation and quick action if a leak occurs.

High‑efficiency furnaces are designed to create condensation, but only if the drainage system is working properly. During inspections, I check for:

• Proper PVC venting
• Clear condensate lines
• Working condensate pump
• No moisture inside the cabinet
• No water on the floor

Moisture issues can lead to corrosion and system failure, so proper drainage is key.

🏠 Roof Life Expectancy: What Homeowners Should Know
Different roofing materials have different service lives, and proper ventilation, installation quality, and weather exposure all play a major role. Typical ranges:

• Asphalt shingles: 20–25 years
• Architectural shingles: 25–30+ years
• Metal roofing: 40–70 years
• EPDM rubber: 25–35 years
• Rolled roofing: 10–15 years

During an inspection, I evaluate age, wear patterns, granule loss, flashing, ventilation, and any signs of moisture intrusion to help determine remaining life.
