1<\/span><\/strong>. You don\u2019t mind blindly investing hundreds of thousands of dollars<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, if you don\u2019t care that you may be investing all that money in a nightmare, or the proverbial \u201cmoney pit\u201d, by all means \u2013 waive the inspection.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2.<\/span><\/strong> You\u2019re OK with living in a home that you know little about<\/strong> <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By getting a home inspection, you will not only discover problematic conditions in the home but you will also \u201cget to know\u201d the home.\u00a0 <\/span>You will learn the type of roof, siding, drive, and insulation just to name a few.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 <\/span>An attic with moisture issues is not a big deal <\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Every attic needs proper ventilation.\u00a0 <\/span>However, if stucco, wood boards, or attic insulation blocks the ventilation, moisture issues can develop.\u00a0 <\/span>I see this on countless home inspections.\u00a0 <\/span>The attic will be way too hot \u2013 almost like a sauna.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

4. You don\u2019t care that there is a waste leak in the crawl space<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I see it in many homes \u2013 an incorrectly installed or deteriorated\u00a0waste pipe from the shower, sink or toilet dumps waste right into the crawl space.\u00a0 <\/span>And what do these conditions add up to?\u00a0 <\/span>A health hazard.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

5. You don\u2019t mind that the electrical panel is a brand that is known to be defective and a potential fire hazard<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are known to have been manufactured in a defective manner and can cause major problems, even fire.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

6. It\u2019s fine that the chimney flue pipe is disconnected or better yet – it\u2019s missing<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a fire hazard that is known to have burned many homes to the ground. Usually when I see a fireplace that looks like it has never been used, it makes me wonder why.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 <\/span>Its not a big deal that a couple circuits in your service panel are over fused, double-tapped, charred, deteriorated, etc., etc.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My\u00a0apologies for the sarcasm, but the list does go on and on.
\nSo, if you are purchasing a home and thinking about waiving the home inspection \u2013 think again.\u00a0 <\/span>You never know what may be lurking in a home. Often times the homeowner puts money toward fixing cosmetic issues but little toward fundamental systems and conditions.\u00a0 <\/span>
\nMany houses look great; a new paint job, remodeled kitchen, brand new windows and floors.\u00a0 <\/span>But be careful, you never know what\u2019s hiding in the crawl space!<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
