Many inspection companies will not crawl the crawlspace, because they figure that you get what you pay for, and their not charging enough to have to crawl the crawlspace. So they don’t! You saved $75.00 and it cost you $5,500.00.

It is very difficult to see, but there is a hairline crack across this entire cast iron T fitting. We crawled all the way to this bathroom area in the crawlspace to find it. There had been 2 plumbers and another inspector under the house and they did not find it. Look closely and you can see a drop of water leaking out the crack.

This is a sewer clean out on the outside of the structure plugged with rags. What you don’t see is that on the other side in the crawlspace sewage is leaking out into the crawlspace. Will some other inspection company find this for you?

This is leak form a shower pan inside the wall and the bath is on the 2nd story. We saved our client $2,500.00.

The plumber said he had repaired this yesterday. Can you see the new supports at the floor just above this leaking shower pan. Our client was convinced that it had been repaired. The seller, the sellers agent and the plumber had assured our client that it was repaired. What do you think?

PVC to Cast Iron pipe leaking. The plumber has used transitions to try to put miss matched parts together. We found the problem and our client saved $800.00.

Cast Iron pipe has temporary patch of tar sealant.  Would have started leaking after a month on two. Our client did not have to pay for the repair.

Kitchen sink has S trap drain connection, is not allowed by code by most all cities and standards, can cause sewer gasses to come up through trap.

We predicted that there was a leak in the slab during an inspection, the buyer had a pressure test performed as we suggested, the seller had the leaking pipe repaired and our client saved thousands of dollars. The realtor asked “can you see through cement?”

You may see an older home completely remodeled and updated. You may think this home can’t have any problems.  I don’t need a inspection or you may think I’ll have the cheapest inspection company inspect it, because there can’t be anything wrong. Suggest you think again.

We want to save you from using these.
