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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Did someone forget to insulate this attic?

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!

Brand new attic framing.

Leaky HVAC ducts.

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.

Attic Stains

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?

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?

Nice Structure, look close.

Look at this plumbing genius.

Can you believe I inspected this house!

Kitec Plumbing

Improper roof trusses.

Broken trusses anyone, and this was a brand new house?

Marie Mortera is happy to call Las Vegas home once again! Her return to Southern Nevada comes after working in Los Angeles for almost 2 years. At KTLA, Marie reported for an Emmy award winning morning show. Her reports included breaking news, celebrity cases and in-depth coverage on some of California’s most controversial issues, including medical marijuana.   Marie started her career in Yuma, AZ. Anchoring and reporting in the Arizona desert turned out to be an amazing experience: flying with the Blue Angels, spending a lot of time with the Border Patrol and winning an Edward R. Murrow award for her role in reporting on a Harrier Jet crash.    In 2005, Marie moved to Las Vegas - reporting, weather anchoring and ultimately anchoring for the top rated weekend morning show in the market. In 2010, Marie returned to anchor the 4 pm newscast and to report for the Crime Tracker 3 team.     When Marie isn’t reporting on stories in your neighborhood, she’s looking for the Valley’s best restaurants, hiking trails and yoga studios.  You may contact Marie at mmortera@mynews3.com.

My Father owned his own construction company.  Back in the late 60’s my brother Duane and I would work  construction during school break learning the trade at an early age.
Below, I had an inspection next to the Lied animal shelter and stopped in after the inspection and adopted Gia.

This is our newest addition Bella who we adopted last year.

I found this cat (Jones) on a roof, the neighbor said he was up there for a week so I brought him home and he’s been a great cat. Gia & Jones have become best friends and they play together every day.  Below: Buyer Christine Larin & Realtor Sarah Hankins. Great People!I had the pleasure of doing an inspection for Mindy Gao.  Mindy is a news reporter for the Chinese Daily News. Mindy@cdnews.comBelow: The car that was owned by Stivale builders.
