The above photo of a laundry chute taken during a home inspection depicts a safety hazard for a curious baby or a small child. If one finds its way to the bathroom vanity and crawls
into the open chute, the next stop is the basement. The laundry chute opening should have a door that rotates upward; when the chute door is closed, a turn of the chute door handle locks the door.
This is
an important reason why home buyers should retain the knowledgeable services of a licensed Professional Engineer to conduct their home inspection rather than a non-engineer inspector (whether or not the
inspector holds a license as a home inspector or not). A licensed Professional Engineer has the knowledge to not only find issues, but to also recommend a repair solution.
