Bracing of the #waterheater , will the bolt hold?

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

#inspection funnies 😂 ever been told to not pee in the shower? Well there’s a solution

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

The #rosary may be there for a reason 😬. Time for an upgrade folks!

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

If your electrical system looks like this then it’s time for a upgrade 😬

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

#homeinspector who knows the problem?

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

#sewerscan root ball 8’ in on this newer 20 year old house. Having your sewer lateral checked is very important. We gotta #poop

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

#hydrotherapy tubs need to be cleaned before using them! #homeinspectors testing tubs often find this condition. Imagine filling that tub for the night and slipping in tub with a glass of wine…activate the jets and walla!🤮

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

Just another day doing #homeinspections Some of the fun stuff!🧐

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

Importance of doing a ⁦@sewerscan⁩ on a property. Landscaping tied an exterior drain into the sewer lateral, a no no😮

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

⁦Probably a good time to request a ⁦@sewerscan⁩ when you see new concrete all around lateral access. First thing found was water backed up due to improper slope in line but likely root of their problems was the large chuck of concrete 😬 ⁦@Wohler_USA⁩ VIS500

#homeinspection fun. The engineering of this water bottle shower head 😂

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

Elastomeric deck coatings require proper preparation! #homeinspection

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

Probably don’t want to burn a log this big in your fireplace! #chimney

Stucco cracks, do you repair them. Unless they are over an 1/16”, patching often makes look worse? What do you think

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

Electrical fun fun fun

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

Well? You tell me what it is…was very entertaining for me to see this! Do you see it???

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

What’s wrong here?

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

Don’t second guess having a ⁦@sewerscan⁩ on your next home inspection. This client almost didn’t do it and so glad he did. Repairs like this can be a easy $2500 repair!

[Peter Hopkins @inspecdoc]

You know your doing something right when a customer has held on to your business cards for over 20 years and keeps coming back! Has my hair color changed that much 😬⁦ #homeinspection
