Home Inspection Reveals Loose Hose Faucet Installation

YouTube Preview Image

In the attached video, the home inspectors show you a loose hose faucet at the rear of a home on a recent home inspection.   What can happen as a result of this hose faucet being loose is that as it moves within the wall it can put stresses on the solder joints. Over time this movement can result in a solder joint cracking and leaking. I have recommended to the homeowner that the hose faucet be re-secured to the house to eliminate the movement. A couple of screws through the slots in the housing should secure the hose faucet adequately to the home.

We have used Rick twice for home inspections, nce in 2005 when we bought our first home and again this year with the purchase of our second home. He is very professional and thourough. I like how his report is layed out with pictures. I like how he labels all the valves in the home. We never felt that he was in a rush and he came prepared to give us our printed home inspection report there on the spot. Rick will point out areas that need repair and suggest ways to fix them. I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.‎

Rick’s home inspection put our minds at ease when purchasing our first home.  After the home inspection, we felt confident in asking for the repairs that were needed.  Thanks for the thorough inspection and report!
