I just had to post this for my fellow inspectors. It's kind of a boring blog, about TPR Valves. The funny part was, as I was writing it, I realized I was describing MY OWN WATER TANK!! The pictures of the PVC 90's, then sealed into the sump pit, were 20 feet away from my office, in my basement! I guess I better get busy with some plumbing.  http://www.charleston-home-inspector.com/charleston-home-inspector-tpr-valve.html |

oh yeah, I HAVE to. We are putting the house on the market soon. The tank was like that when I moved here two yrs ago, along with a TON of unprofessional wiring!  |

yes, I did that right away! (even before I went into the inspection business, it was a no-brainer)!

There is nothing sweeter than the smell of fresh cut grass on a baseball infield, the click of a wooden bat and the taste of a hot dog at a warm sunny daytime double-header.

Good one, Stephen. I knew I was in trouble when the seller specifically asked me NOT to get a Home Inspection performed when my agent suggested it! Soon after moving in, I realized why-a couple examples: there is a flexible conduit coming out of my ridge vent, then secured to the top of a no longer used chimney stack. The wire runs in the flue, and is attached to a receptacle that was mounted in the fireplace ceiling (a sheet of plywood covering the flue). And a multi-receptacle strip, like for an entertainment center, hardwired to a receptacle by running the chord under wood plank paneling in a basement wall. 4 different places where a two pronged screw in receptacle was screwed into a light fixture, then extension chord plugged in and ran to a fluorescent light. Open splices for dishwasher and disposal. There is a bigger list-this is just a few! It's all been repaired now. I am planning on putting the house on the market the end of the month. All I have left to do is re-support the 16x32 deck that is being supported by leaning, rotten, pieces of telephone pole! Great examples of why EVERY home sold, owner financed or not, should get a proper Home Inspection. Harry Homeowner Repairs? Hardly. It's either Jack Legg Repair, Inc., or Cobble-up Construction! |

Good post started here Mike. I also have a TPRV blog @: http://www.jwkhomeinspections.com/blog-water-heater-tpr-temperature-pressure-relief-valve-san-antonio-inspections.htmlI commented on your TPR valve blog on your site. If you want, comment on mine and mention Charleston WV and put a link for your blog- good for SEO, another link exchange method. We terminate our TPRV drain lines here to the exterior within 6" of grade since WH's are usually in the garage. We don't have basements here , where I assume your sump pit is at. Actually that would be a good topic to mention if you comment in my blog about the difference of termination points.  |
