    Thanks Mike, The sensor was actually quite high on the wall, about 8 or 9 feet so it was difficult to see the "touch to silence" Upon zooming in on the photo, it is clear. Thanks for you feedback, I appreciate it. Sean

    I noticed a few of these sensors on the wall of a condo during an inspection. They were covered with tape. Does anyone know what they are? Please let me know.. Thanks Click to Enlarge 15.93 KB

    I was in a 1906 home today and in the attic I found this strange insulation that I have never seen before. It resembled a brown sawdust like material. Does anyone have a clue what it might be? Thanks Click to Enlarge 62.4 KB

    Hello everyone, I was at an inspection today. As you can see from the photo, there is tuck tape, insulation and dirt showing. Hard to see, but also a drain pipe going down through the sill plate where it has been cut. The only thing covering this area was a pice of polystyrene board behind the drywall. This was an area of moisture damage to the drywall. How would you write this up? Please advise... Click to Enlarge 48.32 KB

    Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it. I don't usually see a single sink with a garburator. Also, I have also been told by a few plumbers that they don't recommend them as people often put the wrong things down there like stringy veggies, rice and starchy foods like potatoes which can cause clogging. With only one sink, and a clog then it can be a hassle. I see a lot of homes with hammer arrestors common on PEX systems. Thanks again guys...

    Does anyone see a problem with this installation? A garburator has been installed under a single sink. Is it or is it not more prone to clogging? Am I being too picky? Click to Enlarge 33.35 KB

    Hi Jim, Yes, I am aware...That is right. Now that I look at it it is bonded. Thanks for the clarification, it is much appreciated.

    Hello everyone, I came across this at an inspection today. It appears that the ground is attached to the gas line. Any opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks, Sean Click to Enlarge 59.45 KB

    Hi gang, I came across this and wanted to see if I could get some feedback. It is rusting all over, but the gauges seemed to be alright. I am fairly new to the game in terms of larger boiler units. Any feedback would be great Click to Enlarge 55.28 KB

    Yes, that is right, flex tube over hose clamps. I don't see a lot of poly that is black, mostly grey. But then again I am in Vancouver Canada. Weird about the Shaw Flexible tubes... No info, but that is what is said on the tubes from a different angle. Thanks for your help Rob

    During an inspection, I came across a tubing material for an in floor hot water heating installation that I was curious about. I couldn't get close enough to touch it, so I was not 100% sure what it was. The boiler was installed a year ago, but the installation had been there for a while. It was made by Shaw Flexible Tubes LTd, but no date. I think it was polyethylene, not pex. As you can see in the pic, there was serious corrosion. Is anyone familiar with what it could be based on the pic? Click to Enlarge 65.23 KB

    Thanks for the info... BTW - yes, I meant that the service panel was surrounded by insulation with the exception of directly in front. Good attention to detail, [:-magnify

    From time to time I come across a service panel that is completely surrounded by fiber glass insulation. At first glance, by intuition tells me this is not right. Is this ok? Any thoughts? Please advise, Thanks Sean

    Hi Nolan, That's great, I appreciate your help. I read some great things on the testimonial page, but all companies have good things to say, I just like to be sure. I will get in touch with Dominic and go from there... Thanks, Sean

    Hello everyone, I am looking for a Mac friendly reporting system that I can use to write the reports with. I like Horizon, but there are cross-platform issues that I prefer not to deal with. I understand that Home Inspector Pro is Mac friendly, however, I have not been able to find any solid reviews on it so I am apprehensive about buying it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks, Sean
