As an Atlanta home inspector I am often called out to do roof inspections on homes that were damaged by hail and insurance companies have it replaced.  So many times the home owners want to make sure the job is done correctly

 This picture is of a concentric vent for the furnace where the exhaust vent and combustion vent are separate.  Air flows into the outer vent and feeds the fire in the furnace and the exhaust fumes exit through the center pipe.  There's supposed to be a special cap on the top of these vents that keeps the air from mixing at the top.  The roofers put a lead flashing around the pipe to keep it from leaking.  Instead of using a regular vent boot they use the lead flashing then they turned the flashing down into the inside pipe.  This blocked the air from entering the outside pipe which caused the furnace not to work correctly.   

 In the above picture, the roofing contractors installed screens on the gutters but they left this space open without any gutter screen protection.  I found two or three similar areas where there wasn't any gutter screen protection in place.

As an Atlanta home inspector, I see this kind of stuff all the time.
