Business ProfileforAxium Inspections

We requested an inspection of a home to purchase on September 21st, 2023.(2013 *************** ********, ** ***** by Axium (ProTech) Inspections.Once we moved into the house in late October, we started to smell natural gas around the gas range stovetop which persisted but we assumed it was just the burners as they were checked in the inspection report. Upon further persisting gas smell over the coming weeks we had a technician come out from ***************** to use a sniffer and found a leak behind the range in the on/off valve. We had to pay another contractor to fix the valve that day. When we submitted our issue to Axium they responded that they were not liable for any gas smell in the house and were only responsible for the checking the gas stove and would not issue a warranty refund to us . We would just like to be compensated for the amount paid to the contractor but they refused. Please see the attached correspondence below.Mr. Bing,Here is the full **** standard that you referenced in your complaint. The gas line that you referenced in your complaint is concealed behind the range and therefore could not be inspected. Please see the **** standard below section **** that states "The inspector is NOT required to:" "Move fireplace inserts and stoves or firebox contents." The inspector does not move appliances per the **** standards and therefore this issue would not be covered by the 100 day warranty.**** The inspector is NOT required to:interiors of vent systems, flues, and chimneys that are not readily accessible.Fire screens and doors.Seals and gaskets.Automatic fuel feed devices.Mantles and fireplace surround.Combustion air components and to determine their adequacy.Heat distribution assists (gravity fed and fan assisted).Fuel-burning fireplaces and appliances located outside the inspected structures.Determine draft characteristics.Move fireplace inserts and stoves or firebox contents.
