This damaged chimney flashing could
cause water to enter the living space causing damage
to the structure and interior of the home.
The yellow arrows in this photo show an
active leak in the attic area. I detected moisture in
other areas of this attic with a Wagner moisture
meter.

Moisture Meter:
When conducting a complete inspection, a
moisture meter is used to determine the moisture
content in walls and ceilings. Using a moisture
meter can help to determine if stains are a result
of existing plumbing and/or roof leaks.
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.
