I'm in a battle now over a winterized home.

Seems the company who winterized the home disconnected the coupling at the service meter to drain the line. Doing so they cracked the threaded coupling.

I went out to the home this past Saturday to do the inspection and found the water off. I raised the meter to look to see if the meter had been padlocked by the city when I observed the damaged coupling.

Told the agent who in turn called the listing agent, who in turn starting blaming me saying I must have broke it. The b@%^*

She called me and started ranting. I told her when she could talk to me like a human and not sound like noises from a baboons ass to call me back and I hung up on her.

She called me back a few minutes later with a new attitude. She said she would call the winterize company and the city and get it on so that I may proceed with the inspection.

Now the winterize company is calling me and saying they did not disconnect the line as I found. I told them it was strange because I've inspected umpteen number of homes that they have winterized and found the same thing on before with the line being disconnected and that one of their techs told me that they do this do blow out the lines.

Its frustrating dealing with these foreclosures for sure. I'm about ready to tell folks that I don't inspect them at all.
