Introduction

Building Insight into Your Future

It is with great enthusiasm I welcome you into the diverse world of inspection and property ownership! You can never be 100% sure of what you are getting for the money, the best that any of us can do is educate ourselves to reduce the risks involved. Even now after my combined 25 years of building, renovating and inspection, I am still seeing new and unique issues. This photo ebook is # 5 in a series of # 17, compiled to give you an easy way to see and understand some of the many issues that I discuss with home buyers every day. The advantage of seeing and learning in this format is that it is easy to remember and locate the best information offered in this series.

In an effort to not cloud or confuse topics in each of the photos, I have tried to maintain one topic at a time for discussion only. For instance; in a photo of a crawlspace, I may have a primary foundation issue with recommendations, there may be several other visible issues in the picture as well. If I were to discuss all of these items it would not add to the intended topic.

Keep in mind that this information is not meant to replace your home inspector or other professionals in the process of buying or investigating a property. This information is provided for individuals that want to get a heads up on issues in domestic housing and to add to their knowledge of the overall process. Building codes vary in each country, state, province and municipality. Building Codes need to be verified as correct for your location. In most cases building officials are quite helpful and will direct you to resources, contact your city or community office before starting any project.

Please take note that this information is in no way intended as a complete guide to the investigation of a property. It is intended to give you a clear concise look at more relevant information, omitting most minor or maintenance related issues. The photos in each of the ebooks are of actual issues and have been modified for better description or to protect the identity of the home. Most of the deficiencies in these books have likely changed due
