Quantum Property Inspections

High-efficiency furnaces and water heaters can produce a lot of condensation. It's a good idea to check your exhaust pipe as they can get blocked with ice buildup during the winter. #homemaintenance www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #calgaryrealestate #edmontonrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada #dronephotography... #buildingscience See more

GET IT INSPECTED. Sometimes we find small leaks. Sometimes we find BIG leaks. Here, the toilet above had lost its seal to an old wax ring. It was a good thing that ceiling was unfinished and the repair and cleanup was easy. My clients were very relieved that this was caught ahead of time. #getitinspected www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #calgaryrealestate #edmontonrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada #dronephotography... #buildingscience See more

It's a good time to get in your attic and have a look around. -30 is coming soon and a disconnected bathroom exhaust duct will turn your attic into an icicle farm. This happens on the newest of homes so don't be surprised if it has happened to yours. #getitinspected www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #calgaryrealestate #edmontonrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada #dronephotography... #buildingscience See more

Doing inspections for the owners of Toubled Monk Brewery has its perks! Huge thanks to @troubledmonk for the tip. By far one of my favorite breweries!!!

CAGED DRYER VENTS. There is a reason that caged dryer vents are against building code. And the reason is apparent in this photo. Dryer lint buildup can create a serious fire hazard and any obstructions, such as cages, should be removed. #firehazard www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #calgaryrealestate #edmontonrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada #dronephotography... #buildingscience See more

No, someone did not spill coffee in the attic. When you crank up your humidifier in the middle of winter you get condensation. Lots of condensation. Humidifiers should be turned down to 10% or less during the winter months. #buildingscience www.quantuminspections.ca #homerepairs #homemaintenance #propertyinspections #centralalbertarealestate

A very common problem that we find..... lose flue pipes on high-efficiency appliances. Sometimes they even pop out on their own, exhausting hazardous flue gas directly into the home. It's an easy fix but a serious hazard. #getitinspected www.quantuminspections.ca #homerepairs #homemaintenance #propertyinspections #centralalbertarealestate

If you have a stain in your ceiling and think your roof may be leaking, this could be the culprit. Deteriorated plumbing vent flashing is a common source of water intrusion into an attic. #getitinspected www.quantuminspections.ca #homerepairs #homemaintenance #propertyinspections #centralalbertarealestate

A master bedroom casement window which is supposed to open outwards. For fire egress purposes, bedroom windows shall be openable from the inside without the use of a tool or key, special knowledge or effort, or having to tear down a veranda! #fireescape www.quantuminspections.ca #homerepairs #homemaintenance #propertyinspections #centralalbertarealestate

This is why you don't plumb your temperature/ pressure relief valves into your floor drain from your water heater. Watch and see! #getitinspected www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada

I have a monthly reminder on my phone to inspect my air filter so they don't turn out like this. Have you inspected your air filter lately? #dirtyfilter www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspector #realestate #centralalbertarealestate

Two on the same day! Exterior electrical panels pose a serious electrical hazard and components such as breakers inside the panel are not meant to be exposed to moisture. Nevermind the sideways torrential downpours we've had this year! These panels should be evaluated by an electrician and moved to an indoor location.#electricalhazard www.quantuminspections.ca #homerepairs #homemaintenance #propertyinspections #centralalbertarealestate

I got a bit of a surprise when this guy came out of the trees! I don't usually see horses wandering around the yard during inspections. #wheninalberta www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada

A continuation from yesterday's post.... This faucet didn't shutoff all the way unless tightened hard. Instead of having this properly fixed sealant was added over and over. The faucet was left to run continuously. If you saw the previous post you saw the result! #getitinspected www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada

The underbelly of a modular home, full of water. This, unfortunately, was pure home owner neglect. I'll post the cause of this tomorrow. #getitinspected www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada

Another serious electrical and fire hazard. Not to mention a serious hazard of the job! #electricalhazard www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspector #realestate #centralalbertarealestate

Those black spots are mold growth. From years of repeated condensation formation under the roof sheathing. High household humidity, ceiling gaps, improper attic hatch construction and lack of bathroom ventilation can all contribute to humid air escaping into the attic and creating condensation. #atticinspection www.quantuminspections.ca #homerepairs #homemaintenance #propertyinspections #centralalbertarealestate

When in Alberta....

Old style wood chip insulation. This only provides about R-1.5 per inch and can be a fire hazard if not treated, although at one time treated wood chip insulation was available. Upgrading to fiberglass insulation would definitely be a good idea for peace of mind and the thermal efficiency of the home. #atticinspection www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada

Unfortunately, this was not just missing attic insulation. This was a substantial roof leak. #thermalimaging www.quantuminspections.ca #homerepairs #homemaintenance #propertyinspections #centralalbertarealestate @flir

Can you tell me whats missing from this DIY plumbing?? #hireapro www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada

Interesting fact! OH&S has an exemption from tie-off requirements for rooftop inspections. No harness and lanyards needed here. #rooftops www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada

Heres a great way to keep your sump pump running stong! Discharge the water so it feeds right back into the sump pump basin in an endless loop. (Actually though.... this discharge pipe needs to be extended to keep the water far away from the foundation. The sump pump will eventually burn out and theres a potential for water to penetrate the foundation.) #getitinspected www.quantuminspections.ca #homeinspections #reddeerrealestate #lovemyjob #albertacanada
