@@BenGromicko Done!! : )
Good stuff!
Thank you.
If during your roof inspection you notice a soft spot in the roof that indicates water damage in the deck and isnt walkable without risking safety, do you describe the potential damage beyond the roof covering? Ive had this happen during a roof repair and inspection for a family friend. I ended up having to replace a whole section. Im not an inspector currently so i was hired for repair and inspection. Thanks! Great video!
Hello Alice.... I might be able to help,
1) "notice a soft spot in the roof that indicates water damage " - Not all "soft spots" are water damage. Some can be broken or damaged decking or missing or dislodged clips. Best to confirm from the attic.
2) "do you describe the potential damage beyond the roof covering" - We as inspectors can only describe what is observational or visual in our inspection. So if this water damage is confirmed from the attic and interior ceiling, then yes.
Great questions!!

@@orangeblossomhomeinspectio432 thanks! That is very helpful! The home i worked on didnt have an attic or any water damage inside. It was a manufactured home. So if i was doing an inspection similar to this and notice that i wouldnt include that in the report as im not able to visually see it, correct? If i remember correctly it was by the edge of the roof where the gutters were there was some issues of the wood rotted on the surrounding wood and that could be mentioned bc I could see that it may be causing an issue to the roof? I cant think of the technical name for that wood that the gutters are attached.
@@alicejustfancypants9755 Excellent questions!! Your welcome!! : )
1) " i wouldnt include that in the report as im not able to visually see it, correct" - correct, you can only inspect the visual components of the roof and if they are working as designed, roof deck, attic or soffit. You document your findings and recommend a professional to evaluate further. Do not guess.
2) "the edge of the roof where the gutters were there was some issues of the wood rotted on the surrounding wood and that could be mentioned bc I could see that it may be causing an issue to the roof?" - absolutely. That board is called the fascia. If the fascia is not sealed properly with paint and caulk it will eventually rot, especially at the joining parts. Metal or vinyl coverings are recommended.

Yes, Alice. If the home inspection is conducted in relation to a real estate transaction, then recommendations to correct observed defects should include "prior to closing." When reported defects are corrected prior to closing, then the contractor has the opportunity to look further and evaluate much more than the visual-only inspector could.
A lack of a GFCI would be a material defect wouldn’t it? It’s a safety issue.
