Rats love attics and crawlspaces because of all the insulation for burrowing. This attic had plenty of burrowing tunnels and feces (the black spots). Lots of fun, huh? |

Wow. Pictures are worth a thousand words, huh? |

Galvanized plumbing supply pipes tend to get internal restrictions from mineral deposits, thus lowering flow. They also rust, first at the connections, then as rust blisters in the field, and finally they look like this, ready to burst! |

Almost all crawlspaces have some moisture from time to time. Unfortunately, many others can become swimming pools! Water can wreak havoc with structural and mechanical systems, as well as create moisture problems inside the house. |

A roof that deadends against a wall can sometimes leak if not properly weatherproofed. This one had that issue, plus somebody installed an electrical box right where the water runs. Not a very good idea! This roof was covering an addition. |

Tile shower surrounds that are glued onto drywall all eventually fail. This happens faster when there's a window in the shower. This shower was so bad that you could see the water leaching through the wall and out through the cedar siding! |
