Inspection findings

Another rocket scientist puts a chandler over a bathtub. Ok, you take a bath and the lights are on, you stand up to get out of the bath tub and your head hits the lights! It’s over.

clip_image002.jpg

Look at this, unbelievable! Some one cut in an attic access in the garage. Number one, they compromised the fire rating of the garage. Number two, they cut all the truss members!!!

clip_image003.jpg

Something looked very funny about this tile roof on an older house. Upon further review I decided to pick up some of the roof tiles only to find that some brain surgeon decided to add a tile roof over three layers of the old asphalt roof. The truss system for this home was engineered to hold the weight of asphalt shingles. Imagine the weight of three layers of shingles and then the cement roof tiles!clip_image002.jpgclip_image003.jpg

This house in Lamp Light Village is three years old.  Have a look at this truss.

Kitec plumbing is a huge issue in Clark County.  You need to find out if the house you are buying contains Kitec plumbing. I’ve noticed a lot of inspector’s have never actually seen Kitec plumbing.  Sometimes you have to look below the attic insulation to find the actual plumbing lines.

1aa.jpg 

Two-double stabbed 20-amp breakers noted. Double lugging/stabbing is where there are two wires feeding one breaker. Each breaker should have one wire.

ssss.jpg

Did not start the water heater. Missing water heater venting system noted.

a.jpg

Update: On the water heater above.  Improper repairs have been made during the inspection.  The handy man arrived and did not install the proper ventilation for the water heater.  Open flue joints and missing draft diverter noted.  Repair needed by a licensed plumber.

aaa.jpg 

The water heater discharge pipe is missing on the temperature pressure relief valve.  Suggest installing the required 3/4-inch discharge pipe on the temperature pressure relief valve to within 1 foot of the floor or to exterior of the building to ensure safety.

ssssssss.jpg

Did someone forget to insulate this attic?

zz.jpgz.jpg

Just look at these truss repairs! This is unbelievable.

The evaporator cooler drain pipe is disconnected causing the bedroom ceiling stains.

This was left next to the attic furnace, nice!

This furnace flue pipe is right against the plywood sheathing.

Mold anyone?

Nice wiring job!

This broken truss was found in a brand new house.

Cracked slab that has transferred through the structure.

Cracked Slab.

Look at this live - exposed wire for the pool light!

Could you imagine paying the electrical bills while heating and cooling an attic?

6.jpg

Lets have a look at some electrical issues.

Nice double stab-this is not code at all and a fire hazard!

Why would you snake wire like this through an attic - HVAC duct?

clip_image00211.jpg

Nice Structure, look close.

Look at this plumbing genius.

Can you believe I inspected this house!

    Craig,

    I’ve had many local inspectors before, none and I mean none are in your league.

    You are so through and took the time to explain all your findings and solutions to your finding.

    Thanks,
    Carol Whitley

  2. Jeanne says:

    As a Realtor in Las Vegas for over thirty years I’ve come across a lot of inspectors.

    One word, far and away the best.

  3. Bill says:

    A licensed certified home inspector must take 23 hours of re-educating courses every two year required by the state.

    In the class I taught - Craig was by far the sharpest and the one with the most questions. Heck, I learned a few things from him!

    If I was to choose an inspector to inspect my house out of thousands that I have taught it would be Craig

    Thanks for the great job you did with my future home. I learned plenty from your inspection and will be sure to give you a call if I have trouble with some of those minor repairs.

    Thanks again,

    Hi Rita,

    Thanks so much for your and Craig’s prompt response! We really appreciate his thorough report.

    We are referring Dana to a friend so you will most likely be inspecting their condo next year too.

    Have a great day!

    Greetings Skydwellers,

    I just got off the phone having talked for an hour with a Property Inspector that Barb & Greg referred us to. We can’t get to L.V. to do our own after all.

    I am quite impressed with his ethical and thorough attitudes toward inspections. He knows his stuff and I would certainly choose him over the run of the mill Amerispec guys.

    He will even do a coordinated cosmetic inspection with Sky personnel if you can’t do the walk through yourself.

  18. Allen says:

    Please let me know if there is anything we need to provide for this. I know I still owe you the past address sheet. We will also be locking our rate tomorrow and sending in our loan documents by the middle of this week. I will let you know when these are complete.

    Also, could you contact the owner’s real estate agent and see if they decided about the rent-back? It would save us some money if they did decide to do that. Do you think they’d be willing to pay around 2500 a month? That is WELL under what our mortgage will be, but it seems reasonable. We could cover the rest of the mortgage and they could stay in the house until they are ready to move. I still need to discuss the actual amount with my wife. I’m just throwing a number up there right now. If they aren’t interested in doing the rent back at all, then it is a mute point.

    Lastly, I wanted to say how impressed I was with the home inspector. His diligence and scrutiny will save us heartache in the future. He was/is truly a professional and I would recommend him to anyone that needs an inspector. Thank you.

    Very Respectfully,

    Allen Peplinski

  19. Liz says:

    Craig,

    This is very thorough which is exactly what I need. I thank you for that, for all the pictures, and for the quick turn around.

    You are a true professional and I will recommend you if any of my fellow investors in need of an inspection in Las Vegas.

    Also, I promised to send you the link to the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight. Here is the link to the main page -

    http://www.ofheo.gov/

    From the main page you can sign up for the e-mail updates or you can just go to the site on a quarterly basis for the reports.

    In case you want to see a sample, here is the link to the last quarterly report on the housing index. The reports come out about two months after the end of the quarter.

  25. Monty & Catherine says:

    Craig,

    Wow - This is an impressive list!

    We will let Bonnie advise on how to approach
    resolution to the key issues on the list, but my take
    is that with common sense negotiation and
    reasonableness all around, all should be ’serviceable’
    with adequate allowance before and at closing.

    You are amazing - direct quote from Catherine.

    Thanks again for the invaluable details on how to make
    this house a really solid home!

    Craig,

    GREAT web site! I love all the pictures and I am so thankful to have found such a great inspector. My buyer’s called me after you were done and said–now that is a great inspector, keep him! Our last Realtor had a grumpy inspector who knew nothing!

  33. Todd says:

    As a former building inspector in Canada my Realtor told me since I am not in Las Vegas to get a inspecton on the house and said you were the best.

    After speaking with you and getting your report with the pictures she was right. You clearly know exactly what your talking about.

    Great job.

  36. Russ and Deanna says:

    Hi Craig,
    Deanna and went to the house today and met Jeff (construction foreman?) and James.
    They also had a couple workers cleaning up…
    We went through all the stuff in your report, and the good news is they fixed all of it yesterday.
    Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera, so I’m sending you the original message with the pictures you sent me.
    I added notes of the fixes/repairs between the pictures…

    Thank you very much for your help and input.. (we wonder how much of this would have been overlooked had you not been there)
    We look forward to see you again for our final walk through, we’ll let you know when..

    Thanks again Russ and Deanna

  37. Charlotte says:

    Craig:

    Thank you…. I made copies for D’Andre and Kia to review… I also advised them if they have any questions you will be more than supportive to answer for them. I have not had a chance to review the photos with the report, however once I do I will certainly give you a call if there is something I do not understand.

    Again, Thank you for your prompt respond and professionalism.

    Hi Craig ,

    Thank you very much for the outstanding job that you have done on the inspection I needed for the property on Hammock st. . Im sure that we will do business together again and again. You are well referred and I can see why. As a new realtor I have not much room for error and i am thankful to work with true professionals. Have a wonderful day.

  40. Maureen says:

    Craig, first of all it was a pleasure to meet you and so nice to see how professional you are, I feel safe knowing all the problems I have in this new house are written down and pictures for me, can’t thank you enough.. you made it so simple for me to view this..If I find that I need any help will give you a call and you can recommend someone to me, think with my son in Law Pierre and Guy I should be pretty well set…thank you once again for all you did on this house…Maureen

  41. Maureen says:

    Craig and Rita,

    I wanted to thank both of you for how well you dealt with my clients the Bannons. The great service and fast turnaround on the report are wonderful. And the military discount for this young couple is much appreciated. I also appreciate your kind words about me in front of my clients.

    I’ll also be sure to tell people to say your name when I give out Dave’s number in the future. I’d like to pass along the name of an excellent all-around maintenance contractor we’ve known for years: San Johnson. His company name is Handy-San Maintenance. 277-5292. Although he occasionally brings along a helper, he prefers to do the work himself. We’ve used him in our own house — he is does great work at reasonable prices — electrical, plumbing, carpentry, tile. And another thing we like, if a job is beyond his experience — he’ll say so.

    I know I’m going on, but one more thing I’d suggest is if someone is scheduling an inspection at a vacant house, I’d ask if they called the 3 utilities to confirm if service is on. As I mentioned to Craig today, it took me only about 15 minutes yesterday to check all three companies to make sure they were active. I’ve called before (on Peaceful Morning), and no one ever gave me a hard time. They just have to keep working the automated system until they get a live customer service rep.

    Great to see you again. Look forward to more deals together now that I’m back to working with buyers again!

    Regards, Barbara

    THANK YOU..THANK YOU FOR SUCH A PROFESSIONAL REPORT!!!

    We appreciate the report and all the additional pictures of 9 Al Castello Court. We only saw the house one time and love having some reminders of what it looked like. I just had one question….was Woodside provided with a copy of the report. If not I will fax/send to them.

    Thanks again!

  43. Brian says:

    Thanks again for all your help, Craig. It’s great working with someone who is both honest and knowledgeable.

    Can you recommend any licensed contractors that could take a look at that planter box and wall inside the garage, and give me an estimate on fixing it? I’d like to have a number to negotiate with the seller.

    Thanks.

  44. Peggy says:

    Hi Craig,

    We met with David today and he is wonderful. You are absolutely right, the HVAC installation was not done properly. David will fix it and he will also do some of the plumbing.
    Thank you again for recommending him. He said you are his mentor.

  47. John says:

    Craig,

    Your right!! that link I sent you didn’t have my home listed so I thought I was in the clear,, I pushed on and ended up calling the
    Aliante long term customer care ,, that guy told me there is REHAU plumbing in that home!

    He gave me another number to call to get the work done for free,, turns out all of the fittings on that home have already been
    replaced,, the contractor told me where I can pick up a copy of the completed work along with a copy of the two year warranty.

    The contractor indicated the plumbing is good,, only the fittings were bad,, they have been changed out! they opened up 7 walls,
    took out the old brass fittings and replaced with good stuff.

    There is a re-call of free work going on out there for all the homes that got hit with bad REHAU fittings etc. That is the good news.

    Details of the Recommendation: “We hired Craig to provide a Home Inspection on a large home that needed to close in 48 hours. The home had an inspection performed by another company a week prior who found no problems so we opted for a second opinion.

    Craig came in the day after our call, provided an amazingly detailed inspection finding numerous items that needed minor repairs. He kept my clients and I informed the entire time from when he was enroute, on site, and when he completed his inspection and went over the results on the spot so we could expedite repairs and meet our closing deadline. Great service, very personable, very knowledgeable and very affordable. He will be a part of my Real Estate team for years to come.

    Thanks for a great job Craig.

    Hi, I just wanted to drop a quick thank you for the referral.

    I was asked to walk a house to price out some repairs the other day by a realtor who handed me a home inspection report from a different home inspector. Wow! what a difference in the quality of your reports from his. It has made me appreciate the good work you do even more.

    Craig,

    You did a great job on the inspection at Isleworth Drive for us on Wednesday. Thanks for the very nicely done report which made it easy to respond as to items needing attention by the sellers.

    I was intrigued by the folding ladder you used during the inspection and checked on line to see if I can find the same one. WERNER makes a lot of different ladders is seems. Can you tell me the model number of the ladder you use?

    Thanks,

    George W

    Rita & Craig,

    I’ve been meaning to tell you that your inspection was awesome. Craig, I have never received a home inspection that was as thorough as yours. I will definitly recommend you to anyone I know who is buying a house.

    I called the two people you recommended for repairs. Gus did a fantastic job on the yard. I almost didn’t recognize the house when I drove up! He is done now and the yard front & back look great. I lost his phone number and there is something else I would like done. Would you please send me his phone # again.

    Also, I had someone come in and repaint the interior of the house. He did a great job and wasn’t expensive. If you would like his name and number, i would be happy to give it to you.

    Thank you for your great inspection.

    Hi,

    I hope I’m not bothering you, but I wanted to tell you that I have been using the resources on your page ( http://alphahomeinspection.com/great-links/ ) for my students at school, I hope that’s OK! I am a high school librarian working on our online resources available to students and your page definitely has some great stuff I could use!

    As a thank you, I thought I would pass along this additional resource I have been using as well in case you were looking to add more to your page. It has a ton of great information and resources on electrical safety that I think you will find useful . I hope I could be helpful in return, let me know what you think :)

    Sincerely,
    April West

    Thank you so much Craig,
    You and your assistant were both very professional and personable. I appreciated your attention to detail and taking the time to not only address any concerns, but to provide options and alternatives. It is both refreshing and immensely satisfying to deal with someone who takes true pride in their work. I fear that so many people are used to being treated as a dollar sign that they would be too quick to overlook the integrity and commitment that you and Nicole obviously bring to the job!!
    When all is said and done, what you did today helped to make a dream come true - the dream of owning a home with confidence. A home that now, thanks to you both, I can be content, comfortable and happy with, that it is a great purchase, and that there are no major surprises ahead!!!
    I will have no qualms about recommending your services to anyone in the future. I would also ask if it would be ok with you if I could contact you in the future about any additional concerns and /or maybe get recommendations for people/contractors to take care of any work around the house that may be needed?
    Again thank you so much and hope you have a great evening and a wonderful 4th of July weekend!!
    Regards,
    Christopher

    Hi Craig,

    My wife and I have a contingent offer on a short sale house (offer made on May 16th) (escrow is set to close on or about 8-31-2011) (it’s all up to the Seller’s and Buyer’s lenders right now) in North Las Vegas.

    When the time gets closer we certainly want you to be our inspector and will be in touch. Great honest style at report writing. This is what owners need to know, not the lip stick and mascara report.

    Again, thank you for your honesty.

    Regards,

    Paul & Roma Wittmann

    Hi Craig!

    I just want to express my sincere appreciation for you working us in for the Pikedale inspection… and I’d also like to compliment you on the format of your report which makes it very easy to go over with the buyer and indicate the items the seller needs to tend to.

    Thanks again! :)
