This is exactly why we crawl the crawlspace. šŸ‘€

At first glance, the floors inside the home might not give you much reason for concern. But underneath, we found several makeshift support posts that appeared to have been added after the original construction.

Some were poorly aligned, some were not in contact with the makeshift footings, and others were missing completely.

These supports may have been installed in an attempt to stiffen or level the floor system, but improvised structural repairs like this deserve a closer look.

Not exactly what you want to see from a GFCI outlet. šŸ‘€

Something is clearly not operating correctly here and should be evaluated by an electrician.

This is exactly why we test these safety devices instead of just assuming they work because they’re installed.

What does this remind you of??

A plumbing company called me today and offered me $150 for every water heater replacement I referred to them.

I declined.

As a home inspector, my job is to give clients an unbiased opinion—not to make money based on who they hire after the inspection. Accepting kickbacks for referrals creates an obvious conflict of interest and goes against the ethical standards home inspectors are supposed to follow.

Unfortunately, it happens. And it goes both directions—there are even inspectors who will pay real estate agents for referrals.

Whether the money is going to the inspector or from the inspector, the problem is the same: recommendations should be based on what is best for the client, not on who is getting paid behind the scenes.

When you hire a home inspector, you should never have to wonder whether a recommendation was made because there was money attached to it.

🚿🦷 When your shower comes with a built-in Waterpik…

Why waste precious time flossing at the sink when you can knock it out during your morning shower? šŸ˜‚

Turn on the water, rinse off, floss the teeth, maximum efficiency.

I’ve inspected a lot of showers, but this is the first one with a built-in dental plan.

Radiant floor heat is one of those upgrades homeowners love for its comfort and efficiency. Warm floors on a cold morning can make a home feel more inviting, and radiant systems often provide more even heating than traditional forced air.

But like any system, there are pros and cons.

Radiant heat can be energy efficient, quiet, and reduce dust circulation throughout the home. On the downside, repairs can be difficult if problems develop beneath finished flooring, and uneven heating may go unnoticed without proper inspection tools.

Utah officially began requiring home inspector licensing on May 1 after the original January 1 rollout was delayed.

So what does that actually mean for buyers, agents, and inspectors?

Honestly, not much should change for inspectors who were already operating professionally.

Most reputable inspectors were already:• Certified• Carrying insurance• Following a professional standard of practice• Investing in continuing education• Running legitimate businesses

The biggest impact will likely be on inspectors who were cutting corners or operating without proper coverage or qualifications.

For consumers, licensing can help create a more consistent baseline across the industry. That’s a positive thing.

At the same time, regulation always opens the door for future regulation. Right now, the law mainly formalizes standards many professionals were already following. But over time, there’s always the possibility of additional rules affecting what inspectors can or cannot inspect, reporting requirements, licensing costs, continuing education, and more.

As it currently stands, though, this shouldn’t dramatically change the experience for clients working with established inspectors.

The good inspectors were already doing things the right way long before the law required it.

Most people ask me, ā€œDo you find a lot of crazy stuff at work?ā€

Honestly… yeah.

But after a while, things that would shock most people start to feel normal when you see them every day. Electrical hazards, major moisture damage, failed sewer lines, structural issues, unsafe repairs… for me, it can just feel like another day at the office.

Maybe it’s experience. Maybe I just have a mellow personality. Probably both.

What feels ā€œcrazyā€ to someone else usually feels like information to me. That’s why having the right inspector matters. You don’t want someone who panics. You want someone who stays calm, sees clearly, and helps you understand what actually matters.

And the truth is, most issues can be repaired, improved, or planned for. There’s usually no need to lose your mind over a home inspection.

Because the goal isn’t drama. It’s clarity
