Amazing rooftop patio and bar setup near downtown Raleigh yesterday at a home inspection. Too many flights of stairs to enjoy a beer or cocktail on the rooftop, but no worries! Luckily, there's an elevator installed within this property that eases the climb to the top!... Contact InspectPro for all your home inspection needs.

This was my favorite photo from 2025. Luckily the house was vacant. The warning definitely got the blood flowing when walking up to the front entrance.

What do you do with unused attic space, and your kids like to play baseball? This was done at a home I inspected last month.

Last month I found 3 damaged and or disconnected dryer exhausts in an attic and crawlspaces in one week. A damaged dryer exhaust vent in an attic or crawlspace poses a significant fire hazard and can cause moisture-related problems. The vent must be professionally repaired or replaced with rigid metal ductwork that terminates outdoors.

Earlier this week during a home inspection, a direct gas water heater had been replaced with a natural draft water heater, but the installer forgot to replace the original larger direct exhaust flue vent to the exterior. A natural draft water heater should not be connected to a direct exhaust flue system as they are designed for different venting methods. Direct vent systems are typically used with appliances designed to draw combustion air from outside and expel exhaust directly outside, often using coaxial venting. Natural draft water heaters rely on the natural buoyancy of hot exhaust gases to vent upwards through a chimney or vent, and they usually draw combustion air from the space where they are installed. Connecting a natural draft heater to a direct vent system could interfere with its proper operation and potentially create safety hazards. You should always have a professional plumbing contractor install a new water heater, not your uncle’s cousin’s son-in-law!
