J&S Home Inspections & Repairs

This is what happens when you use house paint on deck strucutures. Water has penetrated at half lap joint and created a water bubble behind the paint. This holds moisture next to the wood for long periods of time and leads to rot issues. Use the proper exterior stains and sealants for wood decks and you won't have to strip the entire deck when this issue happens.

Two chimneys with very dangerous issues. The first block chimney has so much decay I don't know how it is still standing. Second chimney with loose brick layers and chimney cap are equally dangerous. Should these fall on the house or the neighbors house or a person below it could be deadly. Have you inspected your chimney this spring? Please do so.

This is a Federal Pacific circuit breaker box located in a garage. These panels are defective and have been recalled for issues related to burning houses down. I have posted panels like this before, however, this is the first breaker box where I could demonstrate via video defective connections and arcing at terminals etc. Watch the arcing at the top breaker. Very dangerous and this box has to go now!!
