Re: Blower door test
I would agree, 3rd party, my question would be who is responsable if the home does not pass the blower door test after the insulation inspection and d-wall and the like has to be ripped off and fixed. Also, when and how do other jurisdictions handle these insulation inspections, i.e., under slab, foundation walls, behind corners, and such, the walls and attic are the easy ones, but we cannot be on-site for the whole process, we are thinking that the contractor would have to be responsable for all the liability if the test does not pass. Up here we have always allowed self-cert of res insulation, but w/ the new energy code, we will have to start implementing the res inspections, any suggestions would be great. Thanks, Bill
