This photograph is from under the home. As you can see there is no concrete foundation on this part of the house. They used wood and the wood is deteriorating and falling apart. This is not acceptable, homes in Los Angeles must have concrete supporting them.

When the inspector peeled back the shower curtain, they found a second curtain had been fixed to the shower wall... it appears that they forgot to tile part of the shower and decided to just cover it up instead. Barely noticeable, right? :)

Los Angeles based home buyers, real estate professionals, and other related professionals should consider coming to the Homebuyers Fair this Saturday and Sunday at the LA Convention Center. LaRocca Inspections will be there educating buyers on the Home Inspection process and giving out information (and other fun giveaways) at booth #207. Please stop by and say hi if you attend.

We hope to see you there!
In this area, this type of drain pipe is not per code as it will not drain well. Things get caught in the ridges and it blocks up. This was creative... but in the end it just backed up the waste water.

I always recommend to have a licensed contractor do the work and to ensure that additions are permitted... Otherwise it may end up looking like this.
