On one inspection I had a Buyer say to me: "I know the roof is fine so you don't have to spend a lot of time with that". I looked
at him with amazement and said, "I haven't been on the roof yet but I can see problems from here". This roof was long
overdue for replacement to an approximate cost of $7,000-10,000.
On the same inspection, I looked into the attic and found that raccoons had been living in the attic. They moved and matted
down the insulation. There was waste and stains all over the place and the estimate to clean up around $5,500.
And lastly, the foundation. Walls had been pushed in on multiple walls with an estimated cost to repair of $17,000.
My Client did not buy this house and found another house that I inspected. They paid $8,000 more for it and it was completely
redone, professionally.

I did an inspection in Brookfield that was a side-by-side condo that was only a few years old. If you looked closely at the man-
made hardboard type siding on the building it was loose and had minor deterioration in areas. I recommended that a siding
specialist look at the siding for further evaluation. The conclusion was that the siding was defective and all had to be replaced.

I did an inspection on a upper-lower condo that was only a few years old. When I opened the attic access panel, the entire
roof structure was covered in mold. The roofing, roof sheathing, trusses, and insulation had to be removed and replaced.

I did an inspection a year and half ago and the Client called me and said "his furnace was producing Carbon Monixide and
was not working correctly" and "he had two heating contractors out there and both said the furnace needed to be replaced".
In addition he said, "he has not used his furnace since the inspection and just decided to turn it on".
Well I was intrigued by this on many different levels, so I decided I would go out, take a look at it and bring along my HVAC
guy.
First, he put a window well cover over the exhaust pipes on the exterior and that was pushing CO back into his house. I
recommended that he extend the pipes above the cover.
After talking with him for a few minutes, he said "the furnace was working but after the other HVAC guys played with it, it
stopped working and they said it had to be replaced". One guy said "the heat exchanger was all burnt up".
My HVAC professional took about 5 minutes to get it working and about another 15 minutes checking it for proper operation
and safety. My HVAC guy charged me $50 and the furnace is fine!
