Below is a photo that shows yet another reason to have a home inspection at a new home. In this case, the builder, or his subs, had forgotten to connect the downspouts to the drains. This seemed to be kind of obvious, but it was not unless one peaked behind the brush. We have here, yet again, another example of a good reason to have a full home inspection at new construction. Certain problems are found over and over again at these inspections. The problems include caps left on plumbing vents, insulation packed around B-vents, no insulation installed at all and a host of other unwelcome surprises to the homeowner who does not expect there to be any problems with a new house.
