Plumbing/HVAC/Electrical

Good plumbing, HVAC (heating, ventilating, air-conditioning), and electrical systems are essential to a comfortable, functional home. When these systems are carelessly installed, health and safety issues can arise such as carbon monoxide exposure, just to name one. Common plumbing, HVAC, and electrical defects include:

• Inadequate water pressure
• Plumbing installed in exterior walls without proper weather protection, resulting in freezing pipes
• Improperly installed water heaters and water heater vents
• Inadequately sized water heaters, furnaces, and air-conditioning units
• Improperly installed air unit vents and condensation drains
• Improper installed and dangerous dryer vent exhaust ducts
• Improperly installed or missing backflow valves or pressure relief valves
• Corrosion and leaks in copper water piping
• Product defects in plumbing products and piping
• Excessive sound transfer
• Improper weather protection of exterior fixtures
• Missing or misaligned drains in HVAC closets
