The inspection appeared to be very thorough in that we received a notebook with a fully detailed report and photographs, as well as the same file in PDF format. Unfortunately, the inspector failed to notice a number of wiring and safety deficiencies, including a broken valve on the water heater. This led to our having no hot water later, and when we contacted the gas company, they said the entire heating unit setup area was installed illegally and in violation of the National Gas Fuel Code. It was a serious safety hazard because a bathroom had been installed inside the boiler room, and there was a potential for a gas explosion. We have been forced to hire a plumber and contractor to correct the safety issue and have spent more than $6000 to date. When I spoke to the inspector, he only shrugged me off and said, "We don't look for local code violations." I then spoke with the town's building inspector and he said any competent inspector should have seen this problem. NOT recommended!
Response from EAST COAST HOME INSPECTIONS
"I am a professional inspector with many years of experience in home construction and as an inspector. I care about my clients and always provide time during a home inspection with my clients for an informative walk-thru. That is a good time to ask questions, provide my opinions and most importantly, provide recommendations for safety before occupation takes place. It was obvious from the beginning of the Inspection that the member was not engaged with me, preoccupied, more interested in measuring for furniture. My recommendations were included in my reporting. It later became obvious that the report was not fully read to fully understand my concerns, warnings and recommendations to address before occupation of the home. I had told her that I don't understand how any of the bathroom and heating appliance work could have been accomplished with a permits and work approval. I then made my recommendations to have the appropriate trades people further evaluate conditions before signing of escrow and occupation of the home. Apparently she did not follow my advise and did not call me fer review."
