Mold Testing
Mold is part of our everyday lives.Some molds pose a nuisance, others may pose a serious threat to both the structures in which we live and work, as well as to our family's health and the health of those that occupy our commercial establishments.
As Specified Inspection group can conduct a mold inspection, which may consist of the following:
- Visual exam of your building's potential problem areas
- Detailed digital photographs, video also available
- Fiber optic viewing of inside wall areas
- Moisture testing of interior/exterior surfaces/subsurface
- Testing of potentially contaminated surfaces and wall cavities
- Testing of air within selected areas
- Written report of observations, recommendations, and options available
Thermal Scans
What is a Thermal Inspection?
Thermal imaging is the use of infrared imaging and measurement to 'see'
and 'measure' thermal energy emitted from an object.
Infrared thermography cameras produce images of 'heat' radiation and
provides precise non-contact temperature measure capabilities
resulting in the ability to see what our eyes cannot see.
Why should I have a Thermal Inspection?
- As stated above the camera can produce images we cannot see. So how is this useful? Below are some examples
- Moisture can be verified. The possibilities are endless on this one.
- Overheating of electrical breakers or wires in a panel can be spotted.
- Wood destroying insects or bug infestations can be verified in accessible and sometime non-accessible areas of structures.
- Flat roof inspections. Want to know where the leak really is?
- Bathroom leaks. Not always from plumbing fixtures. The camera can reveal this in cases.
New Construction Inspections
Here are some good reasons to have a
professional inspection performed on the newly constructed home you are
purchasing.
Buying a new house is likely one of, if not the largest purchase
decision you'll ever make.
A professional home inspection will substantially reduce the risk for
your large investment.
Many people ask:
- "Why does a newly constructed home need an inspection?"
- "Isn't a newly constructed home perfectly safe?"
This is only true to some degree, however, few if any municipal inspectors spend anywhere near enough time in the home to really fully check it out.
Furthermore, there could be problems with the home that are not necessarily code violations, yet have serious consequences for the new home owner.
Ask any private home inspector about the deficiencies and safety issues discovered in many newly constructed homes.
Pre Purchase Inspections
Pre Purchase Inspections Explained
Buying a home is the single most expensive purchase most of us will ever make.For a few hundred dollars you can use the services of a home inspector to get a much better idea of the homes physical condition than you would otherwise have known.
Most states require that the purchase and sales agreement have a contract clause allowing you the right to have the home inspected to your satisfaction or get a full refund of your deposit.
Exercising this right is definitely in your best interest.
Large and costly problems may be brought to your attention before you buy the home, leaving you in a position to renegotiate the terms of the sale or just walk away from the deal.
You may prefer to have the seller make repairs, or you may negotiate a price cut. The choice is yours.
You will be in a far more difficult position if problems are discovered after the deal is closed.
Seller Disclosure Services
Seller Disclosure Information
This is a form that a seller must give a buyer, which details all
physical problems and defects that the seller is aware of.
This is like the car lemon law, but for houses. It's a crime for
sellers to fail to disclose any problems they're aware of.
Note, however, that it's no crime if the seller doesn't report a
problem on the form simply because he or she wasn't aware of it.
Besides the disclosure, he seller must also give the buyer a
federally-approved pamphlet about lead hazards in building materials.
The seller's disclosure will list any lead paint or other lead items
that the seller is aware of.
If the items on the Seller's Disclosure seem major, you can try to
negotiate to have the seller fix them or to lower the price. Or, the
price may have already been set low to take into account any problems
with the house.
