everett home inspections: What are Kick Out Flashings? - 08/15/09 11:13 AM
Kick out flashings are important in diverting roof water from an adjacent exterior wall system. Kick out flashings are normally installed at the lower end of the step flashing run. These flashings divert water into the gutter system. Failure to repair may be conducive for water damage, and fungal wood rot decay, in exterior siding and structural elements.
Siding damage under a roof to wall intersection missing this critical flashing.
This is a common flaw I see routinely, and sometimes it results in serious damage.
A great website detailing this can be found here; http://www.thehomeinspector.com/Clients/Newsletter/Kickout/Kickout.html

everett home inspections: Did last winter leave your home with distressed plumbing? - 05/17/09 10:28 AM
I have been finding alot more plumbing leaks in crawl spaces after last winters harsh conditions than usual. Seems that it was just too cold for too long. Old homes, new homes doesn't really matter. Alot of these I have found at hose faucets and their related supply line.

The home in this example was new construction.....just another reason it is a sound choice to have even have new construction inspected.
