Wrong - Batt insulation does not provide complete coverage across the attic floor so ceiling joists are exposed resulting in thermal bridging.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Wrong - Board is not properly cut and is split where it is toenailed into top plate.
Image
Wrong - Cantilevered floor joist bay cavities are not air sealed with a solid air barrier aligned with the exterior wall.

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Wrong - Ceiling insulation is not completely installed and air barrier is missing.
Image
Wrong - Class I vapor retarder over framed basement walls can cause condensation, mold, and rotting because plastic prevents drying to the inside; the outside should have waterproofing and vertical drainage, and the framing should be spaced from the wall.
Image
Wrong - Code requires a kitchen exhaust fan duct to be a smooth metal duct (galvanized steel, stainless steel, or copper) and to terminate outside, not in an attic or crawlspace.
Image
Wrong - Cold spots along the top plate combined with lack of ventilation have encouraged mold growth along this bathroom ceiling.
Image
Image
Image
Wrong - Condensation on glass could be caused by poor performing windows or leakage around windows or high levels of indoor humidity.
Image
Image
Image
Wrong - Continuous rigid insulation was not installed to continuously cover the sheathing.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Wrong - Cracks of corner of window frame may be a source of air leakage contributing to condensation on windows.
Image
Wrong - Craft faced batt insulation is compressed behind PEX pipe instead of being sliced to fit around it.
Image
Image
Wrong - Craft faced batt insulation is not cut to fit around wiring and eletrical boxes and is squished into corners forming voids which could encourage cold spots in wall.
Image
Image
Wrong - Crawlspace hatches should have weatherstripping and insulation when excluding the crawlspace from the building thermal envelope.
Image
Wrong - Dark pattern on wall is showing where warm air is leaking into the wall cavity from interior of home.
Image
Wrong - Dark patterns on the Home's exterior siding show where warm air is leaking into the wall cavities.
Image
Wrong - Debris and potentially hazardous wiring are littering the crawl space floor, which also should be covered with a vapor barrier.
Image
Wrong - Debris in these open gutters can ignite from wind-borne embers and lead to ignition of the roof or fascia board; use leaf screens to keep debris out of gutters in wildfire-prone areas.
Image
Wrong - Dehumidifier unit was not commisioned before following installation and the installer forgot to remove this tag and plug the holes.
Image
Image
Wrong - Do not install a Class I vapor retarder over vapor-permeable insulation on the interior of a foundation wall because the vapor retarder can trap moisture in the wall, which can lead to mold.
Image

Image
Wrong - ERV heat exchange coils have not been cleaned and have become completely clogged with dirt.
Image
Wrong - Exhaust fans should not have tight bends in duct work, especially right next to the fan as this can block airflow
Image
Wrong - Exhaust pipe is not vertical; poorly installed roofing; roofing odd placement for gable vent.
Image
Wrong - Exterior drain pipe is exposed and thus subject to being crushed; also it has been allowed to fill with dirt and may be clogged, preventing perimeter drain pipe or downspouts from draining.
Image
Image
Image
Wrong - Flashing tape was not pressure adhered to the housewrap; pressure sensitive tape must be rollered for proper adhesion.
Image
Wrong - Flex duct insulation is overly compressed in 3 ways; Zip-tie fastener is over the insualtion not under the insulation at the duct boot collar, duct turning radius is too tight, and support strap is too tight.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Wrong - Flex duct resting on floor compressing insulation and causing condensation
Image
Image
Wrong - Flex ducts are prohibited by the IRC for kitchen exhaust and, at 28 feet, this duct is too long to be effective.
Image
Image
Wrong - Floor register has not been cleaned, allowing trash and debris to build up.
Image
Image
Wrong - Foil air barrier was ripped to install wiring; foil should be replaced with a solid air barrier and wiring hole should be caulked.

Image
Image
Wrong - Glazing failed due to windborne debris during a hurricane.
Image
Wrong - Gutters should be regularly cleaned or covered with screening to prevent accumulation of leaves, seeds, and woody debris, which can provide fuel for forest fires or nesting materials for animals.
Image
Image
Wrong - Hole around electrical box is cut too large; gap needs to be air-sealed.
Image
Image
Image
Wrong - Hole in rim joist was cut too large for plumbing pipe and the gaps are not air sealed.
Image
Image

Image
Image
Image
Wrong - House wrap and flashing tape are poorly installed allowing water to get into the gaps behind flashing tape.
Image
Image
Wrong - House wrap should be installed bottom to top, so that upper layers overlap the lower layers encouraging water to shed out instead of behind the house wrap.
