Randy, you are a fairly new inspector according to TREC. I don't know your background or your experience in the profession. What we are trying to do is to help you and the thousands of other folks that view this website.

Learn from our experiences and not from those who tell you not to be an alarmist or to write a soft Realtor friendly report. I know that you will not win a popularity contest by being a home inspector who does not sugar coat the truth but it is our job.

So, what can be the results of calling out an FPE or ZINSCO panel? 1.You might save someones life. 2. You might tick off an owner or real estate agent. For some of us, we do one or more of those on a daily basis just by performing a good home inspection.
