![]() ![]() | Paradise Hills Condo Inspection | Jan 2015 | Condo/Townhouse Roofs are normally the responsibility of the HOA. This does not mean that the inspector should ignore the roof and not enter the attic. In this case, the examination of the attic revealed a prior leak that had water stained interior ceiling surfaces. This allows Buyer to confirm with HOA status of roof and anticipated repairs prior to purchase. Critical item that might have been overlooked if the inspector assumed no responsibility. | $225 | San Diego, CA |
![]() ![]() | Santee Condo Inspection | Jan 2015 | Exterior Structure and Walls in condo/townhouses are normally the responsibility of the HOA. But the inspection must not overlook structural issues observed and the client should be notified to resolve the issue with the HOA before the purchase is complete. In this case, a structural wall is damaged and has been repaired: are there future issues/concerns? | $225 | Santee, CA |
![]() ![]() | Del Cerro Condo - Appliances | Nov 2014 | Appliances may appear new and in good visual repair, but the Inspector must operate and evaluate all of them for the Buyer so there are no surprises after move-in. In this case, the dishwasher looked good - but a full operational test during the inspection revealed a significant leak (into both sink and onto the floor). Image the surprise if the operation of appliances had not been conducted: all the appliances that are being conveyed must be checked. | $200 | San Diego, CA |
![]() ![]() | Chula Vista Mobile Home Inspection | Nov 2014 | Mobile Home Inspections are critical to purchase. In this case, an issue so simple as deteriorated screens had led to vermin entry into the house itself. Screens in contact with vegetation may go unnoticed, but the residue and safety issues of vermin entering the home will not. | $200 | Chula Vista, CA |
![]() ![]() | Eastlake Home Inspection - Attic | Oct 2014 | Inspections of Attic Spaces are critical for a number of reasons. Attics commonly contain comfort components, such as furnaces. Attics should be inspected also for insulation, vapor barriers and ventilation (gable vents, ridge vents, soffit vents). Attics commonly reveal vermin issues that the Seller should prove are resolved before the transaction is complete. What a surprise if this issue had not been identified by the inspector before purchase? | $275 | Chula Vista, CA |
![]() ![]() | Rancho Del Rey Home Inspection - Bathrooms | Oct 2014 | Bathroom Fixtures (toilets, sinks, showers) must be thoroughly inspected for leaks. Such leaks are often appear for only brief times, but add the months and years, and the damage can be significant. In this case, a leak at the upstairs, hallway bath that was easily correctable could have become a major repair issue after the purchase if the Inspector had not verified leak conditions. Evaluating for leaks is critical. | $400 | Chula Vista, CA |
![]() ![]() | Campo Home Inspection - Crawlspace | Sep 2014 | Campo Home Inspection - Always thoroughly inspect the Crawlspace. Looking for foundation issues, storage of combustible materials (dangerous) and screens to prevent vermin entry. | $330 | Campo, CA |
![]() ![]() | Fletcher Hills Inspection | Jul 2014 | Physical Inspection of the Roof (if safe access is possible) is critical. In this case, a cricket flashing along the uphill side of the chimney was not in place and a mold garden was building. As a result, water intrusion into the attic space was possible (though no evidence yet existed). This allowed client to remedy the condition before have to rebuild the entire roof structure. | $450 | El Cajon, CA |
![]() ![]() | Santee Home Inspection | Jun 2014 | Electrical Issues in Main Breaker Panel. This panel inspection revealed a disconnected 30 amp wire open inside the panel. The circuit was for a spa no longer in place, but the line was HOT. Had the Homeowner opened the panel to shut off breakers, possibility for electrocution existed. | $400 | Santee, CA |
