This type of drain setup is not good. The purpose of a trap is to contain water so sewer gases can’t escape into the house. This drain style can allow water to siphon out of the trap and down the drain, leaving no blockage for the gases.

Doors that swing in get all of the rain and sun, and since they are typically attached to the metal threshold, that water soaks up from the bottom open grain to cause rot. If it is caught early, it’s a cheap, quick fix. If it isn’t caught, the fix costs many times more.
Check the bottom of your exterior door frames and doors and save some cash by doing maintenance.

Winter is coming again. For those with freezing weather, disconnect your hoses. Frost free hose bibs stop the water 8” to 12” under the house, keeping it from freezing. If you leave the hose connected, the water can stay in the front pipe of the hose bib and can freeze, blowing out the hose bib as well as the hose itself.

Most people don’t pay attention to the condition of their roof. When the gutter is full of shingle grit, that means it’s not on the shingles protecting them. You can also see bare fiberglass showing through and a missing piece of flashing.
This is a great example of why it’s smart to get a home inspection. There are many things like this on most homes. Would you rather pay a bit to have the roof replaced because a detailed report showed you why it’s needed, or pay 2 or 3 times that amount by waiting and having to replace drywall ceilings and walls, have to paint them, replace buckled floors and carpet, etc. because you waited until the leaks got out of hand before you called a roofer?
The inspection, just in this scenario, would save you thousands of $ and typically cost far less than a weeks pay.

The right tools tell the right story. From 7.8% to 25.2% moisture, it’s obvious that water has gotten in this floor. We knew that because it is buckling, but there are other causes for a buckled floor, so the moisture meter confirmed moisture. By working it across the whole floor, we could follow the path of the water and make an educated guess as to the cause, and therefore come up with a solution.

We keep cases of specialty meters and tools so we can help you maintain your house too.

When most people think of home inspections, they think of the one usually done when buying a house.
I prefer to inspect a home that is lived in and an investment. When I find wood that’s just starting to rot, or roof flashing that is just now coming off, or missing caulk, etc. and you fix it, your repair bill will probably be hundreds or even thousands of dollars cheaper than if you wait until there’s a big leak, a rotted door or a roof that’s failing.
Get your home inspected and have a maintenance list to work on instead of waiting for disaster.

Are you ready to stop mowing and edging? This company does incredible work with turf and concrete letting you use weekends for things that don’t have to be done again next weekend.

Bare copper pipes with no insulation around them means that during the next big freeze, a plumber will charge dearly to climb in the crawlspace to patch the frozen pipes. I saw 5 patches while I was under there.
It’s a simple and cheap fix- do it before the cold weather gets here.

If you are remodeling to flip a house and don’t know how to connect the tub drain to the PVC drain line… apparently some decide to just leave it and let the next owner handle it.
