Just one more reason for Home Inspections. I was doing an inspection yesterday and after checking all pluming, sinks, toilets, diswasher, tubs, showers and drains inside the house, I went outside to check the foundation and grounds. In the front of the property behind some plants I noticed water bubeling up from the ground. The water was on for a couple of days before I had got to the property. So when I saw the area that the water was coming from I knew it wasn't a pressure line. I noticed the tree roots at the surface in most of the front area. Then I noticed the water slowed to a stop? I carry a shval with me at all times, so I though I would just check a little bit to see what may be the problem. Wel I dug down about 12" and found the problem. The tree roots had broken the sewer pipe and lifted it up about 4 inches allowing the draining water I had run to check things inside to run into this planted area for some extra watering.
So are Home Inspections important? I would say so.
