Do you not think some people would be concerned and not want to buy the home . It was the agent who made the call not me.9 of the record I do think it was good call more from the other concerns with the home ) But the UFFI was what made up his mind as he said the concerns from other people in the future need to be looked at. I think I would not buy a UFFI home for that reason alone. I just say a $800,000:00 deal fail for a small amount of asbestos in the boiler room This to me should never have happened but the buyer is the one who must be happy .

Sure there maybe plug holes where it was installed. I have seen plugs both inside and outside. If installed from interior and patched over you may never know there was uffi installed.

A lot of UFFI was installed in existing homes as a energy upgrade for home energy efficiency under an old government program called CHIP. Canadian Home Insulation Program. When I was doing inspection work for CMHC, I encountered many poor and improper installation conditions where more insulation was better mentality and lack of ventilation actually caused lots of damage. Overall often installed by people with a poor understanding of building science.

Did second inspection this week for the gentleman who did not buy that home .
He got mortgage approval on this home today and it looks like he is going to buy it $6,00;00 less and a much nicer home good things come to those who look and wait . He told me that he mentioned to the Bank mortgage Manager about the UFFI and they where very happy for him and they also told him they will not give a mortgage on a home with UFFI . The bank had sent up an appraiser and he did not catch it. He thinks we are a great inspection company .
