Any idea how much water comes out of a burst water line in less than a minute during a home inspection of a vacant house with no towels or cleaning supplies? Way too much. Thankfully I was nearby when it burst and able to shut the valve off, get a towel from my car and clean it up. First time for everything.

Warning: Sort of a long post. If you get bored, I totally understand.

I was recently asked by a client to perform a re-inspection on the home after the initial inspection. There were several items in the removal of contingencies (ROC) document that the buyer requested and the seller agreed to address. The buyers agent also stipulated that all work be performed by licensed contractors and that all receipts be provided. When the seller said he was ready, I went out and found that 7 of the 19 items had been addressed and zero receipts were provided. I documented the conditions again and issued my re-inspection report, much of which simply highlighted the incomplete work. The buyer, through their agent, being reasonable, returned to the seller in writing and requested that all items per the original ROC be completed and that all receipts be provided.

Another 10 days goes by, the seller is ready again, and several receipts have been submitted in advance. I was asked to return for a second re-inspection. This time was much better, but for the fact that an entire attic full of apparent mold was missed by the mold mitigation contractor, and there were still scorched abandoned live wires and open-wire splices in the attic area as well, even though a licensed electrician had made some repairs already in the same area. In the end, I do think that both of these items will get addressed in this instance because the buyer and the buyers agent are insisting upon them prior to closing.

I don’t often perform re-inspections, but it certainly makes me wonder how often buyers assume that the agreed upon work in the ROC has been done correctly or at all. Again, in this case, there were paid receipts for the work, and significant health and safety items remained.

Lastly just to be clear, a re-inspection, like the initial inspection, is not guarantee of the work performed, but it is a confirmation that some efforts were made to correct the initial defect noted.

If you made it this far, let me know your thoughts.

It’s really sunny in your attic. Too sunny in fact. Time to call the roofer.

I know that it’s already been relocated, but when was it ever a good idea to put a light switch in the tub surround?
