Inspector Budget Home Inspection

Absolutely not something we want to find in a panel box.

Probably not the best layout for a water heater.

I had a very unhappy resident today on an inspection.

Merry Christmas to our agents and clients! We appreciate your business.

Today’s installment of things we see on inspections: a cereal box being used to control the amount of heat/air a room gets.

We do not recommend this 😂

Never something we want to see: a cut truss.

Somewhat defeats the purpose of a drain

Absolutely not something we recommend.

Happy Independence Day!

To all the moms out there!

When Dish Network fixes the issue with a sprite can.

As inspectors we get to see some interesting things. Today was one of the best: the Hashknife Pony Express in progress! A 61 year tradition re-enacting the history of the 1800’s. Be sure to stop by Museum of the West at 3830 N Marshall Way in Scottsdale tomorrow at noon.

This is a new one for us: a chimney missing both the rain cap and the flue cap. Interior of the chimney is exposed and if you choose to look up the flue pipe, you’ll see blue sky.

This swimming pool timer is missing the plastic cover. If you reach in to adjust a setting or turn it on and it’s wet, you will get shocked. The cover is $4 at the pool supply store.

On this roof, the valley was cut short. This causes leaking. Pushing a metal sign under the area is not a good solution. A qualified roofer should repair this issue.

Leaky water heater: on the cold water line connection. Water heater is 12 years old and it looks like it’s time to replace it.

Think you can steal this water heater? Think again. Thank you Inspector Eric for this laugh.

The plumbing vent pipe fell apart or became disconnected in the attic. It is now leaking sewer gas into attic.

Our view today was pretty fantastic.

Garage door sensors do not go on top of the opener 😂

Electrical stress clamp missing on the disposal. Electrical wires are frayed and touching the wall of the disposal. This is very dangerous.

Oh the things we see on inspections…

(Yes that’s fake)

Oh the things we see……

Probably not the best place for the shower faucet handle.

We very, very strongly recommend that you do not put electrical outlets in the shower.

Starting the day with a little humor.

Inspector Eric found this unique “work from home” set up on a house he was inspecting.

Only in Arizona do you find cactus growing on a tin roof.

This month marks our 17th anniversary. So many thanks to the fantastic agents who have recommended us for years, to the incredible buyers and sellers that trusted us. We are so grateful.
