CLICK to See Why Videos in Our Inspection Reports Make Such An Impact

1/30/2020

At a recent home inspection, I discovered that the drain pipe in the crawl space under the kitchen was leaking. Since we use modern, web-based reporting software, I was able to take a video of the leak (far more informative than just a photo) and include it right in the report. Just another reason why home buyers and realtors love us and our modern 2020 way of doing things. Having clear color photos AND videos really does make an impact.

Sneaky Leaks - Dishwasher Dilemmas

10/18/2018

0 Comments

 
This week I performed two inspections in a row that had leaking dishwashers. When I begin an inspection, I always run the dishwashers on a normal cycle. Since my inspections last a minimum of three hours, I always have a chance to check on the dishwasher during and at the end of an inspection. In both cases, these dishwashers started leaking within 10 minutes, with one of them pouring a significant amount of water on the floor (pictured) in a very short period of time. These issues highlight how important a thorough home inspection is and how much time, money, and aggravation you will save yourself by getting an inspection before you buy. It is my job to find things like this and to provide you with a comprehensive overview of your potential new home and I take this responsibility very seriously. Plus, it is a great feeling knowing we helped our clients and likely saved them money as well.
