Found some foundation problems on this home inspection.  When I returned for a reinspect I found that the corrections were not made.  The listing agent started yelling at me because he thought I should have documented exactly where each pier had an issue.  A competent contractor should be able to crawl his butt in there, find them himself and fix them.  Agent was throwing a fit.  I gave him a towel from the kitchen and said "use this to dry your tears".  I then walked away.  I have a 5 year old, I don't need 40 year old cry babies in my life as well.

Water main break in Uptown.  Sucked in half a car under the road.  When I looked in here there was an area of water about the same size as a full size swimming pool.  Can't tell with a camera photo.  It was 92F, man I wanted to jump in and swim.

You can tell me what's wrong with this one.  You got it, wood to soil contact.  Sunshine home inspection in Uptown.

Got to be careful. This sill did not look too bad on the outside but most of it was eaten away on the inside.  I was very surprised it was not getting smashed.  This home inspection also found several joists and other sills that were gone.  The contractor said it would be $23,000 to fix.

This pier is starting to fail.  I recommended in my home inspection report to have it supported with new footing and pier.  CMU's or concrete masonry blocks filled with concrete is a cheap and easy way to fix it.

Not reporting active knob and tube wiring.  I am loosing count of how many times I go into a crawl or attic and add to my report "active knob & tube wiring" after someone else did not report it at all or called it out as being inactive.  Come on, this is easy to find.  How ridiculous, lets have some ethics here. I think this is absolutely repulsive.

One of my worst crawl spaces to do.  Not fun at all.  Very saturated soil with electric wires falling into it all over the place.  Electrocution nightmare.  Also, an extensive amount of spiders, any of which could be black widows.  Crawl was not breathing at all.  This was very dangerous so I could not spend much time in here inspecting the underside of this home.  That means nobody else would either.  That means there could be a lot of problems undiscovered.  Could you imagine crawling over those bricks all over the place?  Who knows what kind of termite issues could be hiding under here.  I could only view about 30% of this crawl.
