Is It A Defect?
By Dan Schilling, Residential Inspections, LLC
What is a defect? The question of what constitutes a defect is one that is pondered at the end of almost all home inspections. Both homebuyers and real estate agents are always asking the inspectors, "Is this considered a defect?", "Is that a defect?"How do you answer them?

Steam & Hot Water Boiler Systems
By Greg Wayman, CRI, Foundation-2-Rooftop, Inc
Made out of cast iron, boiler systems were made to withstand the test of time. Nicknamed after battleships for their similarity in material, strength, and durability, it is not uncommon to find an old boiler system still going strong 50 years down the road. A boiler's design can be overwhelming at first, but once you understand how they operate, inspecting a boiler system becomes a whole lot easier. . . . keep reading

Service Panel Capacity
By John E. Schroeder, CRI, Built-Write Certified I
I wanted to share the importance of a detailed and careful explanation of conditions reported to your client during an inspection. Below is a photo I took this week at an inspection. You can clearly see the hot leads (black wires) connected with wire nuts with no circuit breaker to protect the circuits. The home was fed with a 100 Amp service entrance cable. . . . keep reading

Navigation Systems for Your Vehicle
By Rick Bunzel, CRI, Pacific Crest Inspections LLC
Have you ever set out to an inspection and found the directions to be just plain wrong and confusing? Mapquest.com is an improvement to your map book but there are times when even they are wrong. One of my friends had a navigation system in his SUV, which is really cool because it will talk you to your destination, but frankly I just don't see buying a new car just for this feature. . . . keep reading
