| A logical and comprehensive approach to home inspections for inspectors and homeowners
In this heavily illustrated guide, master plumber, electrician and inspector Rex Cauldwell offers insights from his years of experience, presenting a rational sequence of inspection so that nothing gets missed. Whether itÂs an overloaded electrical panel, a driveway that sends water into the basement when it rains, or a gas furnace thatÂs improperly vented, Cauldwell shows you how to spot and evaluate areas of concern.
YouÂll learn how to:
create a methodical system of inspection
evaluate heating, electrical and plumbing systems
check for "cross-connections" that can contaminate the water supply
ensure safety on the job
inspect roofs, gutters, flashing and more
This book is also essential reading if you are a homeowner who wants to know what to look for yourself or know what the inspector is looking for. Realtors who want to judge the quality and resale value of a house will also benefit from this book.
