NJ Home Inspector describes problems Found in Laundry rooms

Описание: In this video I walk through what I look for during a laundry room inspection during a NJ home inspection. Laundry rooms look simple but there are a lot of small problems that can turn into big issues if nobody is paying attention. I go over the cut off valves and why they need to be accessible and working. I talk about the dangers of old rubber washing machine hoses and why I always recommend braided stainless steel. I cover common standpipe problems and improper direct connections with no air gap. I also get into dryer vent issues that I see all the time and how they create moisture and fire hazards.

I go through combustion air problems when a gas dryer is in a small room. I also talk about the hazards with stackable washer and dryer units when they are not secured and how that becomes a safety concern especially for kids. I explain what an old floor drain in the laundry room means and how it should be evaluated. I also point out electrical issues, moisture problems, and flooring concerns that can lead to rot or mold if they are not corrected.

If you are buying a home in New Jersey this video will give you a good idea of what NJ home inspectors are looking for in a laundry room. My goal is to help buyers understand what is normal and what is a red flag during a NJ home inspection.
