of the items included with the inspection. Remember, when
you walk through the inspection you will be surprised at
how much information you will obtain. We think of the
inspection as a learning experience for you to help
maintain your investment. |

We stress the fact
that water is your home's enemy. Some people think that
grading of landscape is only for looks. Actually, some
decorative grading is actually damaging your home. We
will suggest ways to keep water away from your home and
out of your basement. Sometimes it's as simple as
adding extensions to your gutters.

Whether the
exterior is wood, vinyl, aluminum, or masonry there can
be areas of concern. Some can cause major damage or
even structural damage.

Most decks are
built by homeowners. Usually when a homeowner completes
major work to a house. It should be treated as suspect,
meaning: the cost of upkeep is usually more then a work
completed by professionals.

We will show areas
of concern, such as cracks raised sections, tree root
problems, and trip hazards.

An attic tells a
lot about your home. It can show leaks, sheathing
problems, ventilation problems, insulation problems,
structural issues, or even mold & mildew issues.

Do you think
ceramic tile grout protects the supporting wall from
penetration? No, grout alone doesn't mean its water
tight.
|
 |
|
Do you really care
if the pressure pipes are galvanized, copper, or
plastic, or what the drain pipes are? Well you should.
We will explain the good and the bad for your
situation.

Some feel this is
one of the most important issues. Even if you know
nothing about heating and cooling, you will understand
the Do's and Don'ts.

Most older homes
have upgraded electrical. Unfortunately most is done
without proper permits which could lead to code
