This plumbing pipe is leaking
sewage gas inside this home. (which explains the
not so funny smell in this basement) It should
be capped immediately, for safety sake. Sewage
gas cannot only sicken people in the home but,
in the right concentrations, it can be flammable
and explosive. |

The blue basin in this picture was not placed
there by coincidence. It is catching the water
that was leaking from the plumbing under this
sink. At least, it was helping keep the kitchen
cabinet from deteriorating. Obviously, this leak
should be fixed immediately.

This picture of soot blow back on and around
this water heater temperature sensor is an
indication of a serious malfunction and
deterioration inside this water heater. This is
a serious safety hazard that should immediately
be investigated and corrected by a qualified
specialist.

This plumbing vent pipe in the middle of a roof
top deck is venting noxious sewage gas. It
should be raised in height so that the tenants
can safely use this rooftop deck again, without
getting sick.

This is a picture of a gas water heater
installed next to a gas furnace. The opening in
furnace ductwork, in the center of the picture,
is sucking a large volume of air into the
furnace when the furnace fan is running. The
problem here is that the air being sucked in to
the furnace at this duct opening can suck all
the carbon monoxide from the gas water heater
into the furnace, when then distributes it
throughout the house. This is a very serious
safety concern that should be addressed
immediately, for the safety of the home's
occupants. The most annoying thing about what
you see in this picture is that the water heater
was installed barely a month before the home
inspection, by peopled supposedly trained in the
safe operation and installation of gas
appliances.

This picture is of galvanized water supply
piping. This piping is rusting and could leak
any time. Galvanized pipe can attract insurance
issues regarding price and even availability.
