mjr6550 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Just one of many reasons why I hate the reports many (most?) inspectors generate using HI software. I realize it is not the software's fault. Download Attachment: HI Report.JPG 140.33 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I don't really care to comment. Did they ask you to evaluate the mold specks that are not visible in the pic? [][:-magnify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I am not commenting on that particular report. But, I will tell you very very very few reports are beyond comment and, of course, all reports are subject to criticism. Does not look any worse than most I look at. If you do not know this business, you will write a bs report. More to the point, the software will write a bs report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 If there were no pictures, then I'd say that the writing was kind of rough, and the comments too vague, but it would seem ok. With the pictures, though, I'm wondering if the inspector actually understands what he's seen. None of this is the fault of the report writing program.

mjr6550 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 What I was most concerned about is the comment to install a moisture barrier. This is an area below a slab. No access to install a moisture barrier, and no comment in the report that the slab on grade is not properly supported. It seems like-push the moisture barrier comment and move on. Don't actually take the time to understand what you are looking at. Everybody has their own thoughts on commenting on a little mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 My first thought was exactly that; how would one install a moisture barrier? It's not the fault of the software, but it is a fault of the general industry structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 It's so bad, I don't think it deserves comment in the first place. Where would one start? English grammar? Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 OK, I thought he was describing a crawlspace with some kind of sprayed-on insulation under the floor. He does say it is vented to the basement, so he thought it is a crawlspace. That's scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 OK, Is it just me; or are those photos about an inch on a side, cuz on these big monitors they look miniscule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeKey Home Inspection Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Those pictures looked tiny. It was hard to tell what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
