    I was inspecting a 1960's duplex, The property manager stated that they had some water that had run down the service mast but they had repaired it with no additional problems. Click to Enlarge 81.86 KB Click to Enlarge 73.64 KB I think it looks like they came from the Titanic.

    Check out where someone cut off the elbow for the intake valve for the furnace in the crawlspace. Previously it was vented five to the exterior. Allowable ever.??? Click to Enlarge 37.42 KB

    Any ideas as to why this is happening? This has only happened (a few times) when I'm checking the outlets in shops. When inserting the big tester into an outlet I get a bad ground reading. If I double check it with a smaller tester it shows the same outlet to be wired properly. Click to Enlarge 24.36 KB Click to Enlarge 24.94 KB [:-magnify [:-monkeyd

    I found microbial growths in a vented attic. The house was 21 years old, original roof. The venting appeared to be properly installed. The ridge vents had wide gaps at the top. The enclosed soffits were not blocked with insulation, but there was microbial growths on the sheathing. Normally its caused from lack of or blocked vents. Any suggestions.

    Maybe not recalled but other evidence of "safety issues", The electricians that I have spoke to almost always change them out.

    I was inspecting a condo unit. I came across a Federal Pacific Electric with "Stab-Lok" circuit breakers. The panel was clean as a whistle. The condo was 34 years old. Are all Federal Pacific Electric recalled. I'm sure this unit has been inspected before. Would the condo association ever have all the panels changed out? I recommended that it be evaluated by a electrician. Click to Enlarge 41.25 KB Click to Enlarge 58.99 KB Click to Enlarge 61.42 KB

    The service conductor wires appeared to be rated for less amperage than other service components. This can result in the service conductor wires being overloaded. This is a potential fire hazard. Recommend that a qualified electrician repair/replace. I wrote the the service pole needed to be replaced.

    I did tell the client that the whole panel and the pole that it was attached too needed to be replaced. The wiring going to the garage that had even more problems. The panel in the trailer had some double taps. It was all a HOT mess. [:-thumbd][:-thumbd][:-thumbd]

    Check out the old screw-in fuses on this Trailer inspection. The double tap in the center for the outdoor panel on the center bar looks like it needs a qualified electrician to evaluate and replace.

    I have been a Home Inspector for two years. I have seen a few Zinsco panels but not one like this. It's from a friends house that sold recently. I had a few concerns about the panel and wanted to get some input from some Inspectors. I see some double taps with service conductors. double taps on some breakers.
