Safety is always on a Home Inspectors mind.

By
Home Inspector with Eastern WA Home Inspections, LLC

Our Spokane area Home Inspectors are ever vigilant on safety issues. These can take many different forms such as stored flammables in a home, wiring that is improper or in a state of disrepair; a whole gambit of situations that can be found in a home. It is our job to let the client know of these hazards or potential hazards so they can decide if and when to address the problem. Eastern WA Home Inspections, LLC noted this retaining wall that does not have a railing or fence near a service walk path.

                                        Retaining Wall, in Grant County.

It would be easy for a person to walk off the edge of this wall especially children when they are playing or even a distracted adult. This is one of the many types of safety issues that our EWAHI reports will show. Correcting the problem is often not difficult and in this case could save a broken bone, or worse.

Reporting on saftey issues will help our Mose Lake, or Spokane clients, have the information needed for the peace of mind they deserve.

Dennis, Guardrails are always one of those items that most people don't think about or don't want.  But it is a great leap point for kids and adults that think they are kids! Need a pool below, SPLASH!!!

Dennis,

I always try to point that out too if there is a chance anyone will be up on them.

Dennis,

By the way, that is the sort of thing that is in code, needs rails, but around here the code inspectors usually look the other way.

Yep kids may want to play in dangerous areas, but the results could be a trip to the hospital.
