  1. My first inspection today! Inspected a second floor condo unit. Everything went pretty smooth, except for the parents pulling me away every couple minutes - "Did you see this!, Did you see that!!". The TPR valve discharges into the same drain as the condensate for the AC unit. Problem is the discharge pipe has several elbows and turns to get to the drain. What is the solution? You dont want a straight pipe 6" from the floor on a second floor unit, correct? There is a pan present, but I cant imagine discharging directly on this. How would you write this up? thanks
  2. I have started my initial marketing push and have visited a number of real estate offices in my area. What is the trick to getting past the front desk? I have made phone calls to the broker/owners of each establishment, trying to setup meetings, but no luck. I know many of you do not cater to the realtors anymore, but just starting on my own, I have no choice. thanks for your help
  3. Thanks for your help guys. I appreciate all the responses. Bill, I am a member of the southern nj chapter, if you could get me listed that would be great. Will you be at the meeting on the 15th? thanks all

  6. I am still patiently waiting for my license from the state, in the mean time I am soaking up as much info as possible. Although my schooling did provide a procedure for inspecting boilers, none of the mentored inspections I did provided real world experience. If anyone can tell me their procedure, and normal problems associated with them, this would be a great help.
  7. Just wondering on avg. how many inspectors are testing for carbon monoxide at bedroom registers. I am weeks away from getting my license, just trying to gather as much info as possible all the time. thanks in advance

  9. For those that email their reports to clients, are you converting your report to PDF? If so, what program? I see some free programs on the net, but wanted to start here first for input. thanks
  10. I assume if I see this, it will be conventional framing in residential construction.
  11. Can someone give me some insight into strongbacks in floor framing. I believe I have only seen one on a mentored inspection, but felt too stupid to ask what it was there for. I assume more support, but dont understand how their built, and why. thanks

  13. I am new to the industry, just opened my own business. Where do I get a good pre-inspection agreement to cover me? Do I have to go to my attorney or is there a less expensive alternative? Thanks J Serenity Home Inspections
  14. I am new to the inpsection business, in the process of opening my own company. I have narrowed down my search for software to two: Inspect express or Ahit I have heard alot about ie on this site that sounds very positive, but nothing about ahit. Can anybody give me feedback? Does anybody know of anyone using ahit? thanks for your help J
