In this heavily illustrated guide, master plumber, electrician and inspector Rex Cauldwell offers insights from his years of experience, presenting a rational sequence of inspection so that nothing gets missed. Whether its an overloaded electrical panel, a driveway that sends water into the basement when it rains, or a gas furnace thats improperly vented, Cauldwell shows you how to spot and evaluate areas of concern.
Youll learn how to:
- create a methodical system of inspection
- evaluate heating, electrical and plumbing systems
- check for "cross-connections" that can contaminate the water supply
- ensure safety on the job
- inspect roofs, gutters, flashing and more
This book is also essential reading if you are a homeowner who wants to know what to look for yourself or know what the inspector is looking for. Realtors who want to judge the quality and resale value of a house will also benefit from this book.
