Cap it off or replace it. What caused this? Home inspections in N.M.

 Hi Joan,

This is why you always use a home inspector that will inspect the roof along with the rest of the home.

Have a good day in Denver.

Hello Adrian,

Plus the inspector has to inspect the roofing and the components up on the roof.

Have a nice day in the Seattle area today.

Hi Roy,

So true. Never buy a home without a good certified home inspector doing the inspection.

Have a great day in Gaithersburg my friend.

Hi Debbie,

The rain water never did get into the attic. The vent stack goes to the water heater. If it rains, the water heater will get wet.

Have a good day in Clarksville.

Hi Anita,

No reason for just the top of the cap to be missing unless it was tampered with.

Have a nice day in Warner Robins.

Hi Jay,

For the same reasons you don't want a leak in the lines at the water heater. Bad things will follow.

Have a great day today in Bristow my friend.

Hi Al,

Never know what some people are up to. Call it put it in the report and move on. Done deal.

Have a nice day in Ormond by the Sea.

Hi James,

Have him re install the cap. Then have him leave town before a home owner finds out he is in town.

Have a great day selling homes in Rogers.

Hi Conrad,

Maybe it was the roofer who knocked off the cap top. Who knows. Now it still needs to be replaced.

Have a nice day in Webster today.

Hi Wayne,

I think he has several homes here. I have inspected quite a few of the homes he used to own.

Have a nice day in Fort Myers today.
