Home Inspection Discloses How Not To Fix A Leaky Valve

Sponge used to fix leaky faucet

There’s more than one way to fix a leaky valve.  In this particular instance the homeowner duct taped a sponge to the affected valve.  As it leaked, the water dispersed through the sponge and evaporated, thus preventing a leak to whatever lay below…

Special thanks to Trent Martin at Mr Rooter Plumbing for providing the photo and story.  Trent fixed the valve properly. I give you honorary HomePro Home Inspectors status

I went back and forth on having a home inspection done.  We are glad that we did because there were issues that I did not catch.  The inspection report will be a useful reference for information on where I will start when I do our upgrades
