Hmmm...my house was flooded by a Inspector who did not check the Washing Machine Drain pipe!

Not a NACHI inspector of course!!

The correct answer is Check the drain line connection.

When taking tests you will find many questions that have key words in them such as this one did. Be sure to read and understand what the question is asking for before answering.

I started one about a year ago (door was closed, just a rinse and hold) 30 seconds later the HO (lady of the house) comes running in and stops it...
Seems her husband never put a dish away so she stored (hid) her Ding Dongs in there!

I always get permission (if they're there), check the inside and the drain line!

Look inside first and pull out the boxes of Ho Hos and Twinkies. I had a house Frau come running into the kitchen to save her stash. Since her husband would never do the dishes, she hid the goodies in there. With the way she dashed into the kitchen you would have thought I started a fire or killed the cat!

I ran a Dishwasher once that leaked all over the Kitchen Floor and into the Basement.

The disclosure was not provided to the Inspector prior to the date of the scheduled Inspection.

Any damage that may have occurred thru the operation of installed appliances is the responsibility of the Seller if not previously disclosed as to dysfunction.
