I love inspecting old homes. You never know some of the unique things you'll see. This 1965 home has its original kitchen exhaust fan. Nothing like hot steam and grease inside your attic!

Take a peak in your crawl space every once in awhile. This dryer duct I saw last week was disconnected and venting inside the crawl space. This can allow moisture intrusion and also lead to undesirable environmental conditions such as mold/mildew, not to mention a pile of years’ worth of lint!

If you love cooking outside be careful where you put the grill. It can melt your vinyl siding!

Attics can be tricky - lots of areas that are hard

Attics can be tricky - lots of areas that are hard to access, including areas by gable vents. But I didn't need to get up close and personal to see the issue here. Bats are a big no no in your attic, as their droppings (guano) contain spores that can be harmful if inhaled. Schedule your home inspection now to help discover (and prevent) small issues that can become major.

Happy Mother’s WEEK from the Doherty clan! We hope you’re able to spend time with the special moms in your life. They do indeed make the world go round, especially the ones we’re lucky enough to have ❤️

This was an End of Warranty inspection and I caught this on the garage ceiling, above which is a hall bathroom. Thermal imaging only tells you if there is a temperature change, but if there IS a temp change in a place where there shouldn’t be, it’s a good bet there could be water intrusion. I always do a thermal image scan of the house after the initial inspection i.e., after the plumbing tests in the bathroom sinks, tubs, toilet, etc.

Picture this: Moving into your newly purchased home and sinking into a nice hot bath only to find afterward that it doesn't drain. Pre-purchase inspections catch all kinds of headaches like this and make it an incredibly cost-effective investment.

Sometimes termites are sneaky. Sometimes they throw caution to the wind and make themselves right at home for all to see. We always strongly recommend getting a termite/WDI (wood destroying insect) inspection in addition to a home inspection when purchasing a home. Always!

Wondering why we put this INDOOR air quality test

Wondering why we put this INDOOR air quality test outside? The science wizzes will know it’s to establish a baseline. Mold spores exist everywhere, so we need to see what’s going outside your front door to see how it is impacting what is happening inside the house. If the spore count is much higher or different types of mold is found inside, the lab analysis will show that. Getting an IAQ (indoor air quality) test is strongly recommended for people that are especially sensitive to mold and for homes that have experienced water intrusion and/or leaks.

I suppose since it was built in 1395, we can forego recommending a structural engineer evaluate it.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Downspout extension draining well away from the foundation. If you want to make it even prettier, you can bury it (making sure to put small rocks where it terminates so it doesn't get clogged with dirt).
