Missing Secondary HVAC Drain Pan

Secondary drain pans are necessary when a furnace or air handler is installed above living space in a structure such as the attic. Primary drain pans inside the units can become clogged or leak causing moisture to penetrate the ceiling below causing water damage as well as mold. The secondary pan should either be plumbed to the exterior of the structure or have a float switch installed that shuts down the unit if the pan becomes filled with water.

Antioch TN Inspections Improper Installed Roof Flashing

Filed under Inspector Findings
Roof leaks can often be found around the protrusions of a roof such as the electrical mast or plumbing vent stack pipes. It is very important the flashing around these protrusions be properly installed. The roofing shingles should be placed on top of the flashing and extend down both sides to the bottom side of the protruded pipe. The shingles should also be glued with roof cement to the flashing to prevent wind and rain from penetrating under and around the flashing.
