What we're looking at: ⚡🔍 An open electrical junction box in an attic — the wire splices are joined with nothing but electrical tape, and there's no cover on the box. 📦

Why it's an issue: tape isn't a proper wire connector — it can loosen and overheat. 🔥 And with the box sitting open in the attic, surrounded by dry wood, dust and insulation, it's a shock and fire hazard. ⚠️

Your options: 🧰 This is licensed-electrician territory, not a DIY job. Proper wire connectors on every splice, cables clamped where they enter, and a cover on the box. Quick fix for a pro — and it takes a real shock and fire risk off the table. ✅

💧 Our moisture meter has one job: finding water where water has absolutely no business being. 🔍 Beep — behind your shower. Beep — under the kitchen sink. Beep beep beep — your attic, your walls, your crawlspace. 🏠 Water does more damage to houses than just about anything else. It rots wood, grows mold, and it never knocks first. That's why we hunt it down on every single inspection — because finding it early beats finding it late. Every single time. ✅

What we're looking at: 💧 dark water staining on the roof sheathing and rafters in an attic.

Why it's an issue: that staining is the footprint of water getting in — past or present. Water rots wood, ruins insulation and grows mold. The key question is whether it's still wet, or just old staining.

Your options: 🔍 check it during the wet season. If the staining is wet now, a roofer needs to assess — there's an active leak to find. If it's dry in the wet season, it's likely staining from a previous roof — keep an eye on it.

Most inspectors look. We look closer. 🔍

A home inspection covers the major systems of the home — and on the Sunshine Coast, that means getting on the roof, into the crawlspace, and everywhere in between.

Here's what a professional inspection includes:
🏠 Roofing, exterior, and grounds
🚗 Garage and carport
📐 Attic and crawlspace
🏗️ Structure
🧱 Insulation and ventilation
⚡ Electrical
🌡️ Heating and cooling, including in-floor systems
🚿 Plumbing
🛋️ Interior

And what it doesn't cover:
— Anything behind walls or inaccessible
— Specialist systems: septic and wells
— Backup generators
— Code compliance — condition, not permits

But here's the difference at Examina: we don't just hand you a report at the door. We walk you through every finding — in plain language, without alarm — so you leave knowing exactly what you're dealing with.

Then we explain what we found. And what it means for you. 👇

🚨 57.2% moisture in a crawlspace

Wood becomes vulnerable to mold growth at 19%. Structural decay sets in above 28%. At 57.2%, this home was already well past both thresholds.

No obvious smell. Nothing visible from above. Just decades of moisture quietly doing damage beneath the floor. 👇

This is what a trained eye — backed by the right tools — finds that others miss. Defect identification is a skill built over years. If an inspector can't recognize something as a problem, it won't show up in your report. And if it's not in your report, as far as you know, it doesn't exist.

That gap is where expensive surprises live.

At Examina Inspections we go into every crawlspace on every inspection — because that's where the real story often is.

We show up as your:
🔎 Inspector — trained eye, right tools, thorough process
📋 Educator — plain language, no alarm, full clarity
🤝 Ally — honest guidance whether the news is good or complicated

**⚠️ This venting setup could be putting your family at risk.**

When a larger gas appliance is vented *above* a smaller one, it can overpower the smaller appliance's draft — pushing combustion gases back into your home instead of out of it.

That means carbon monoxide. Odourless. Invisible. Dangerous.

This is exactly the kind of thing that's easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking at — but it's what I'm trained to catch.

As your inspector, I'm not just checking boxes. As your educator, I want you to *understand* what's in your home and why it matters. And as your ally, I'm in your corner — making sure you have the information you need to get it addressed and feel confident moving forward.

If your home has multiple gas appliances sharing a flue, this is worth a second look. 👀

⚡️ Quick Electrical Safety Tip from Gibsons! ⚡️
Sometimes it’s the smallest details that carry the biggest risk. Using the wrong type or length of screws on an electrical panel can allow them to reach too far inside… and that’s where trouble starts 😬

If a screw makes contact with wiring, it can damage insulation and potentially energize metal parts of the panel—creating a hidden shock hazard ⚠️

✅ The fix is simple: always use the proper, manufacturer-approved panel screws. They’re designed with the right length and tip to keep everything safe and secure.

It’s an easy correction that can make a big difference in your home’s safety 👍

💦👷‍♂️ Ever seen someone pressure washing their roof and thought, “Wow, that looks so satisfying”?

Yeah… until those shingles start waving goodbye 👋 a few months later! Pressure washing might give instant results, but it can blast away those tiny protective granules that keep your roof safe — kinda like washing your car with a sandblaster. 🚫😅

✅ The smart way to de-moss?
- Gently scrape the moss from under each shingle.
-Brush it off (lightly, no Hulk strength needed 💪).
-Apply an antimicrobial or moss treatment and let science do the heavy lifting. ⚗️
-The moss will fade away naturally — no drama, no damage! 🌿

A little patience today saves a lot of roofing drama tomorrow. 🏡✨

🚨 Rats Don’t Knock — They Move Right In! 🐀

Rats are experts at finding their way into cozy spaces in your home — climbing siding, squeezing through soffit gaps, and nesting in your attic insulation where you’ll rarely see them. They leave behind droppings, nests, damage, and contamination that can impact both your home and your health.

At Examina Inspections, we’re all about rat awareness and empowering homeowners with clear, easy-to-understand information. 🕵️‍♂️ Using tools like thermal imaging, we can help identify signs like pushed-down insulation and hidden problem areas so you can take action before a small issue becomes a big, expensive surprise.

Supporting you through your inspection and beyond means giving you the knowledge to better protect your home, your family, and your investment. 🏡✨
