The main beam in this photo has been
altered to make room for the return. This compromises
the strength of the beam and replacement/repair was
required.
The bathroom fan vent terminates in the
attic area in this photo. This practice can cause
moisture damage to sheathing. While routing to the
exterior is the preferred method, bathroom vents can
terminate at the soffit vent to prevent this type of
damage.

Michigan Home Inspection Defects
Tools of the Trade:
Professional inspections require professional
tools. My inspections are completed using
state-of-the-art equipment such as gas detector,
carbon monoxide detector, circuit analyzer and
moisture meter.
These photos show defect that were
uncovered during inspections completed by myself.
If my inspection uncovers problems in a
home, it does not necessarily mean you should not buy it, only that you will know in advance what type of repairs to anticipate. A seller may be willing to make repairs because of significant problems discovered by the inspector. If your budget is tight, or if you do not wish to become involved in future repair work, you may decide that this is not the property for you. The choice is yours.
