This is a
view of a PEX plumbing manifold more common in newer homes.
This
is a gas line with a shut off valve in the off position. The
seller of this home most likely took their outdoor gas grill.
I would strongly recommend a new fixture ( grill ) be
installed or a gas cap to prevent gas escape should the valve
be turned slightly. Always consult a qualified licensed
Mississippi home inspector and or a qualified plumber to
inspect gas provisions.
Dryer
vent blockage is another common condition found by Mississippi
Home inspectors. One of the big energy wasters is a clothes
dryer with a stopped up vent provision or one that runs a long
distance and makes a couple of twist and turns. The shorter
the vent provision the better. Keeping the cover clean so it
will open will save money and help keep the dryer from wearing
out prematurely.
In
this photo you can see the water in this bathtub is very
rusty. It is a good sign the water heater is rusted out and or
the water supply piping is rusting. This condition shows up
more when a house has set vacant for some time.
You
should always have a home inspection before diving in to a real
estate purchase.
