  This water 
heater was replaced by a "professional" that apparently was in a hurry and left 
the home owners with an unsafe condition.    Whole House overview Some of our clients can not be 
at the inspection so they request a walk through video. This is a service we 
provide and is popular with investors.    We see this more 
often than we'd like. It's caused when there is a breakdown of the contact 
between the breaker terminals and the panel buss. This will not trip the breaker 
because it's upstream of the circuit. A dangerous condition that can cause 
overheating and fire.     It's not uncommon for us to 
find "Pipe Hammer". It's caused by faulty or weakened washers or valves. Easy 
repair but can cause pipe failure over time.   This shows a separation 
in the main duct plenum that's leaking a substantial amount of air.  This 
was new construction. believe it or not this is a commonly seen problem because 
the installers don't take care to make sure the joints are properly and 
permanently secured. These leaks can be a silent thief when it comes to Heat & 
AC efficiency.   This one is 
kind of funny. It's a steam vent with bad motor bearings and making an eerie 
noise when switched on. This was a fairly new house and all 3 of the steam vents 
where bad. We find some level of 
active termites or termite damage in about 50% of the home we inspect. We do 
provide termite and moisture inspection and the documents needed by the mortgage 
lender.
