Do you remember "hanging chads"? Well this might be even more cringe-worthy. Hanging insulation is pretty darn useless (at best), as it is not doing its job of protecting your home and your hard-earned money. Condensation has made this insulation wet, which causes it to deteriorate and it will eventually fall to the ground. Wet insulation supports mold growth and insects/vermin, and leads to unfavorable environmental conditions in your home (cold floors, poor air quality, lost heat). Crawlspaces can be dirty, cramped, uncomfortable spaces (with shockingly large spiders in residence) so oftentimes people tend to avoid them, which is why insulation and moisture issues go undetected. Our home inspector is well-versed in cramped crawlspaces and will thoroughly inspect yours to ensure all is well.

Did you know that our home inspector checks for things like leaky faucets and if there is hot water (he even tests the temperature)? These issues are easy to overlook when a buyer is touring a home because there are so many things on your mind. However, things like leaky faucets are not only a nuisance to discover once you've moved in but can become a real problem down the road. Where does the leak start? Is water seeping into the walls or flooring? Should a plumber investigate further? Catching items like this before you buy can save you time, money, and headaches. Call us at 919-921-8400 or book your inspection right on our website and we'll make sure your faucets are shipshape!
