As a full time home inspector with over 32 years of experience working on clients' homes, including an architectural degree, I bring an extensive knowledge base with me to your home inspection. As a buyer, you want a home inspector who will thoroughly examine the home's primary systems in order to discover anything that should be corrected prior to closing. My reports are easy to read with color coded comments, pictures and meaningful recommendations you can trust. Please take a minute to look at one of my reports. I am always available after the inspection through either phone or email for any questions or consultations about your new home for as long as you own it...free of charge. As a seller, having an impartial professional document your home's condition will help alleviate a buyers biggest concern and change a potential sales obstacle into a marketing advantage. The report will identify any potential concerns, paying for itself many times over, by allowing you to consider and possible repair those concerns prior to negotiating with a buyer.

Home Inspection Details ... causing higher heating and air conditioning costs 
Homes that have a heat pump or split air conditioning system installed frequently have the air handler located in the attic. In our climate, attics reach very high temperatures that can play havoc with the adhesives on the various tapes used to seal the ducts. This picture shows a home I inspected in Staunton where the metal duct tape's adhesive is beginning to fail. At this home inspection the holes created by the failing adhesive were in the supply plenum, which allows conditioned air to spill into the attic reducing system efficiency and increasing operating costs. If the holes are in the return plenum, fiberglass fibers from the attic insulation can be drawn into the air stream and be delivered to the living spaces creating a health issue. If your home's duct work is installed in either the attic or the crawlspace it is important to inspect them periodically to make sure they are all sealed in an air tight manner.
