North Carolina Home Inspector – NCASHI Monthly Meeting – 11/17/2011
On Wednesday November 17, 2011, the North Carolina Home Inspector chapter of the American Society of Home Inspectors (NCASHI) held its monthly meeting in Greensboro.
Connie Stephens Addresses The North Carolina Home Inspector NCASHI Chapter
Our honored presenter this month was Ms. Connie Stephens. Connie is the Executive Director of the North Carolina Onsite Wastewater Contractor Inspector Certification Board (NCOWCICB). The NCOWCICB is responsible for the licensing and certification of onsite waste-water system installers and inspectors in the State of North Carolina.
Connie educated the NCASHI membership regarding the Standards of Practice as they relate to Home Inspectors. The most recent Inspector Standards of Practice are effective October 01, 2011 .
The basic, refined answer to the question “What does a typical Home Inspection have to do with an onsite waste-water system?” is…..nothing at all! According to the Standards of Practice for onsite waste-water system inspections, any individual who makes any assessment of an installed system must be licensed by the NCOWCICB. This means that, unless a Home Inspector also holds an appropriate onsite waste-water system Inspector license, they cannot legally comment on any part of the waste-water system. As a definitive interpretation, the waste-water system begins at the inlet to the septic tank. All Home Inspectors should take note of this and be very careful as to what they are inspecting and reporting as part of their Home Inspection reports. For more information, you can visit the NCOWCICB website to peruse the General Statutes, the Standards of Practice, and information on becoming a licensed Inspector.
We thank Connie for sharing her knowledge and experience with our membership!
We collectively and as usual, cordially invite all North Carolina Home Inspectors to come join our organization; you can directly attain a Membership Application or you can Contact Us for more information right here on our website. Come to a meeting and meet some of the most professional Home Inspectors in our state.
NCASHI Home Inspector Chapter Meeting of 08-17-11
What a great meeting……very, very informative!
Henry W. Jones, Jr. addresses the NCASHI Home Inspector membership at their monthly meeting this past August 17, 2011
This past Wednesday August 17, the North Carolina chapter of the American Society of Home Inspectors (NCASHI) had the distinct pleasure of hosting Mr. Henry W. Jones, Jr. at our monthly meeting. What makes Mr. Jones such an interesting speaker, among many other other characteristics, of course, is that he has represented our chapter and North Carolina home inspectors in front of North Carolina state government for many years. Since he has maintained that lobbying position for such a long time, he is uniquely qualified to present and discuss the history of the Home Inspection profession as it relates to the enactment of legislation and laws that have affected our industry since well prior to 1996 when the North Carolina Home Inspector licensing laws went into effect.
It was fascinating for the attending membership to hear and learn of the things that go on behind the scenes when special interest groups are attempting to “gain the ear” of legislators in hopes of having a particular bill or piece of legislation passed, changed, or denied such that it might benefit them in some way. It was very interesting to listen to him re-count his experiences with past issues that have affected North Carolina Home Inspectors as well as to subject matter pertaining to current issues that may very well affect us in the future
Henry is our set of “eyes and ears” at the state government level and he plays a very important role in our being kept up to date regarding pending legislation.
Mr. Jones is a Member of the Raleigh law firm of Jordan, Price, Wall, Gray, Jones, & Carlton, PLLC. His primary areas of practice include civil litigation, legislative representation, and construction law.
We Thank Henry for visiting with us and are hopeful that we might be so honored once again at a future meeting. Thanks, Henry!
And… we cordially invite all North Carolina Home Inspectors to come join our organization; you can directly attain a Membership Application or you can Contact Us for more information right here on our website. Come to a meeting and meet some of the most professional Home Inspectors in our state.
