Occasionally, home inspectors discover several things requiring attention from a single photo.
Here’s what was in the inspector’s report:
A floor joist under the Danville subfloor was over-notched to accommodate a drain pipe causing the floor above to sag.
The black plastic drain/waste line didn’t have support straps as required and was supported with a wood post and shim.
The plastic pipe was manufactured by Spartan Plastics between 1984-1990, which had a history of cracking and failure; and was involved in a class action lawsuit.
The parallel copper water pipe isn’t properly supported which can cause water leakage at a connection.
The electrical cable lying on the ground is subject to mechanical damage should be secured to floor joists.
