Every inspection has the potential for surprises, but this chimney inspection was for the birds.

This chimney was turning into a bird sanctuary.

One thing is certain: no matter how many inspections we perform, every house manages to keep a few surprises tucked away.

There was a snake!

Most attics have the usual stuff… insulation, ductwork, maybe an old Christmas decoration or two.

Some attics have spiders, bugs, and rodents.

Finding a snake skin definitely puts you on alert! The snake was nowhere to be found, which somehow makes it both better and worse.

Putting the mini split AC condenser in the attic seemed like a great idea. Out of sight, out of mind.

The condenser’s entire job is to remove heat from the home and dump it somewhere else. Usually that “somewhere else” is outdoors… not into the attic where it can heat the space and add unnecessary moisture concerns. It’s made all the worse by this home being insulated with spray foam.

It’s basically like trying to cool your house while running a space heater above the ceiling.

We see a lot during inspections, but an attic-mounted condenser definitely earns points for creativity. Just not for performance.

Sometimes the house gives you a feeling that something is off. That something just isn’t quite right…

Sometimes the house literally smells off. This house had a strong gas odor near the meter and the leak wasn’t hard to find after that.

Why buy windows when you already have old sliding glass door panels?

During an inspection we found sliding door panels installed as fixed windows… complete with the original door handles still attached.

I’m pretty sure this is what those fancy builders mean when they talk about adaptive reuse in construction.

Somewhere out there is a contractor proudly saying, “technically it IS glass.”

You’ve got to appreciate the creativity, but in this case I would recommend they channel that creativity elsewhere.

Every once in a while we come across a relic from a home’s past.

Back during the recession, some enterprising indoor gardeners would bypass electrical meters by tapping directly into the service wiring before the meter. This additional usage would not show up on the meter from FPL. Dangerous? Extremely. Creative? Unfortunately yes.

It’s a reminder that homes can have a past life owners never knew about. That’s why inspections matter.

We had an early start on the roof this morning.

This woodpecker was helping to make sure everyone else was wide awake too!

We often bring attention to improper screws in electric panel. But this time it was the correct screws that still caused a problem.

The screw pinched a wire against the enclosure and damaged the insulation.

This one wire was damaged enough to start arcing and overheating and actually melted part of the screw.

It’s a good reminder that even a small mistake can create a serious hazard when electricity is involved. Luckily, this is exactly why inspections matter. Finding problems before they turn into emergencies

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

“In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.” -Franklin D. Roosevelt

Today we pause to reflect on the courage of those who fought for that which we have achieved, and we honor the sacrifice that made our freedom possible.

There are a lot of things to look at on a new construction inspection.

We can check if your new home’s shower curb is actually pitched to drain into the shower.

An inspection today is better than flooding your bathroom on move-in day.

Get the inspection. Your future self will thank you.
