Did a Home Inspection for a couple who work in my wifes office 3 months ago. Water heater was back drafting. Ran to car got Carbon Monoxide tester. Elevated level around draft hood. All were there to see, Realtor clients. Warned them of the danger. Needs to be addressed. The guy comes to work and tells my wife that they had a chimney sweep out to check fireplace/chimney as I recommended and his wife remembered the WH flue issue. He pulled it away from chimney connection and behold the flue was dead ended at the orange flue tile. Criminal I say!
What gets me is it took 3 months to follow my recommendation. I called the guy and asked why. He said Realtor said the issue in report would be addressed before closing. I told him he should complain to the Realtor and ask what company checked the water heater before closing.
Do people even read our reports? It was in three sections of the report including Safety Issue page and a picture with captions.
He almost seemed miffed at me for not pulling the thing apart myself instead of my recommendation.
