For Pros, by Pros
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 it’s an overloaded electrical
panel, a driveway that sends water into the basement when it
rains, or a gas furnace that’s improperly vented, Cauldwell
shows you how to spot and evaluate areas of concern.
You’ll 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. 272 pp.
