Master Plumber Mark
Sensitivity trainer and plumber of mens souls
I just came from a 1990 350k two story home with a basement ,,,, bought just 18 days ago....
They got an inspection and on the report
it said I quote...
"The home has pb pipe and should be monitored."
thats it... no warnings, nothing stateing the problems with PB pipe....
or ....BUYER BEWARE!!!!
is that a good enough job here folks?????
its as if the homeowner should just understand what this all means and its implicatioins....without anything more than one sentance in a 25 page report..
is this right???
--------------------------------------------
well they do know about it now,
after I had to tear open a wall in the garage and repair a spraying pb conncetion that has basically flooded out the water heater and taken out the
walls in the mechanical room...
black mold everywhere too...
NOW
My question here is , if I pay someone to find problems , shouldent this be somehow highlighted in the report....and explained to me???
isnt PB pipe a VERY BAD THING???
Did this inspector drop the ball here for those poor people???
Do they have any legal recourse against anyone here??? Realtor, Inspector, ect???
Honestly, if the home owners had really been made aware of this issue by the insepctor, I am pretty sure they could have probably talked down the price of the house at least $25k
I thought the lady was going to start crying
right on the spot when I expalined to her everything bad about PB pipe.... Told her to have her husband call me .
I Just got off the phone with him and told him he should at the very least tear his inspector a new one...
Soes anyone have any opinions here on what legal recourse these people have----if any,---
against the inspector , cause they will be fixing pipes forever...
