This is a direct tap in front of the main
disconnect. It is like running a wire from your
washing machine straight to the transformer at
the pole, no over current protection. |
Some handy work that my father in law did. Sorry
he's retired. Just kidding....5 service panels
on a 60 amp service is a fire waiting to happen |
Improper service entrance attachment. Wires are
frayed and touch the building. |
Damage and missing
bricks at a fireplace. After a closer look you
could see the interior of the flue, a fire
waiting to happen. |
Damaged siding,
installed too close the roof. |
Mold on the backside
of the roof sheeting. When this much mold is
found in the attic I always find a wet basement
or crawlspace. |
Bowing and cracking
in basement wall. Mold present. |
Inspector Paul's Tip
of the Week. If you have a board that is to
short use a brick to make it longer. |
Basement floor is
wet. Improper grading, clogged gutters and no
sump pump are all contributing factors. |
Carbon monoxide at the register. This is usually
caused by a cracked or rusted out heat
exchanger. |
This is vermiculite insulation, contains
possible asbestos. |
Friable asbestos at the ductwork. |
Improper material for drain lines. Too thin of a
wall thickness. |
No drip leg installed at the furnace. A drip leg
catches debris and moisture so it will not clog
the gas valve. |
