If it is missing, do you write it up? Yes you do. Every time.
When inspecting homes for Desert Sun Home Inspections in Carlsbad New Mexico, I find all kinds of things. Plus I don't find all kinds of things.
I write them up as missing.
In this case the roof was installed and I won't say who installed the new metal roof on the home.
But there are no less than four exhaust vents in the home. But the roof vent assemblies were removed when the new roof was installed.
Look at the roof there are only two visable pipe penetrations along with the water heater and the furnace stacks and the Fire place stack. But there is nothing else on the roof.
This is a major concern for the buyer. There are four exhaust vents in the home but none of them go to the exterior of the home.
This is a major cause of concern.
I think all of the possible penetrations were eliminated when the new roof was installed.
These "rookies" don't know what in the world they were doing when they installed the new roof.
There is a reason the vents are or used to be vented to the exterior of the home.
Now is not the time to re design the way the home is supposed to be vented. Now the seller will have to pay to have the venting brought back up to code.
Have a great day in the Rain every one.
