But he did miss "calling out" our solid…read morewood back and front doors that leak onto to wood plank floors when it rains; both doors were rotted and filled with visible wood putty. An expensive fix that the seller should have been responsible for replacement had he noted it. Also beware when you think he is checking appliances: the HE washer does not wash well and leaves the clothes sopping wet; spin cycle doesn't work. Then he charged us $75 just to drop off our well water sample in Durango. Definitely not pleased with his assessment (he had just inspected the same property two months earlier when it fell through) and convinced us to redo same inspection as he couldn't share that one with us.

We paid for a home inspection and have not even owned our home for a year, yet we are already…read moredealing with multiple serious issues that should have been caught. We've had leaking plumbing under the kitchen sink, the upstairs bathroom leaking when the sink is used, and the downstairs toilet plumbing collapsing within just a couple months of ownership. These are major problems that should have raised concerns during an inspection. The most alarming issue is the propane system. Ferrellgas came out because our propane tank was leaking and discovered plastic propane piping inside the home. We were immediately red-tagged and have now been without propane for three weeks. The technician told us this was a complete miss by the home inspector and said he was surprised the house even passed inspection with these illegal pipes. He explained that if a mouse chews through the plastic line, it could cause a gas leak and potentially an explosion. Despite this, the inspection report states that the visible and accessible fuel lines appeared in good condition and marked them as serviceable. This is a serious safety oversight. My fiancé later called and asked a general question about whether illegal pipes would be identified during an inspection and whether paint would be scratched to verify the material. He said he would check something like that. When my fiancé then explained that he had inspected our home and did not do this, his tone completely changed and he dismissed the concern by saying codes change. The conversation then became hostile and he threatened my fiancé on the phone instead of taking accountability. We relied on this inspection when purchasing our home. Within the first year we've had plumbing failures, illegal propane piping, and now we've been red-tagged without propane for weeks. This inspection was a complete waste of my money and time. I would strongly recommend NOT using this inspector. This was a serious safety miss and extremely unprofessional behavior. Please do your research before hiring.
