The importance of properly flashed roof pe*******ons.

Flashing for an asphalt shingled roof should be shingled over on the top and sides, but the flashing on the bottom should be on TOP of the shingles so water can shed properly. (Shown in the drawing). If it is not, water can get under the shingles and make contact with the sheathing.

Over time, the sheathing deteriorates as shown in the photos. This one has been leaking for quite some time for the sheathing to be deteriorated this bad.

Some will say that a good sealant will work as well as a properly installed flashing, but I beg to differ. I have not seen a sealant yet that will last as long as the shingles do and when it fails, water will make its way in. If sealant is used, it needs to be monitored regularly and replaced from time to time before the shingles get replaced. It will crack and separate from the shingles and pe*******on material.

Any roof pe*******on on an asphalt shingled roof should be flashed like the drawing. Usually by the time you realize you have a leak, the sheathing is in poor shape as well as the insulation below it and the ceiling in the living space.

Unfortunately, I see incorrect flashing all the time. The damage caused by incorrect flashing could lead to repairs that could easily exceed the price of your home inspection.

Don't skip the inspection, it can save you a lot of frustrations down the road.

"Close enough" doesn't cut it with most anything regarding your home, especially your plumbing.

Given the way this was roughed in, they didn't leave room for a proper trap under the shower. Glad I noticed the missing plumbing from the top side before I turned the water on!

Things like this hide in places you don't typically look when you're buying a home. This is why you should always have a professional home inspection!

Spending a few hundred dollars before can possibly save you thousands of dollars down the road.

Some days it's the cool old things that I get to see. Modern homes are definitely different than older ones and things like this are usually long gone.

I'm glad it's still there, holding letters and the daily paper.

Unfortunately it is "Hail Season".

With the recent hail storm a lot of "storm chasers" or out of the area roofing/exterior contractors have shown up. I have received calls, some pretty pushy.

I ask that you hire local, reputable contractors for your roof repairs. After the hail storm of 2019 that effected Vermilion County and other areas, I saw a lot of horrible roof replacements. Low quality shingles, missing roof vents, improper flashing installations / materials as well as plenty of other issues. Don't get me started on horrible metal roof installations. If you want a metal roof, find a company who either specializes in it or has installed a lot of them.

Like many other things in life, the cheapest prices does not always translate into the best job or even a quality job.

PLEASE, hire local, reputable contractors. A company that will be there for you if there ever is an issue down the road. Water intrusion into your home could lead to major repairs and costs down the road.

After 7 years with my inspection software suite Spectora, today was my last day with them. I have always said that they were the "Rolls Royce" of inspection software suites.

That has changed.

Starting Monday, Spectora will be placing options in front of my clients for them to purchase home insurance, warranties, security systems and other things. If my Clients make a purchase, I receive "points". I will have no way to "opt out" of this system.

In my book, this is HIGHLY UNETHICAL!!

As a licensed home inspector, I am an independent third party with my client as my top priority.

My primary concern has been and always will be my Clients. You are paying me for information about the home. You also expect privacy and that is exactly what you get from me. The only person I can share the report with is your Realtor and I need my clients written permission to do that.

Starting Monday, I will be using Hive Inspect as my new software suite. It will present similarly to what I have used in the past and better features are happening daily. Hive is owned by home inspectors, not a market equity firm. They care about home inspectors and our clients. Privacy is top priority. You will never be spammed or sold anything by Hive, nor myself during the inspection process. Like Spectora was in the past, Hive owns the platform, but not the information I collect. It will not be used to generate money from you.

This transition has been a huge undertaking, but I feel it was worth it and necessary so I can provide the very best inspection report AND the highest ethical standards possible to you, my clients!

Thank you for your past support, repeat business and future business as well. Like always, I strive to provide a better inspection and inspection experience for you!!

This home was a nice older home with a room addition. Things looked good at a first glance. After digging deeper, this is what I found. Unprofessional Workmanship. Between just poor quality craftsmanship and support materials just installed wrong, this is why a trained and experienced home inspector can make a huge difference!

Poor workmanship in the attic where the room addition joins the original house. It was just built wrong.

The main beam under the addition floor was not supported properly and on one end, not at all. There did not appear to be concrete footings below the masonry piers as they were leaning and the masonry blocks were oriented the wrong way. In the current configuration, they have a greatly reduced load carrying capacity. Additionally, the spacing was not correct as the beam was sagging. Over time, failure is likely to occur.

The crawl space opening was extremely small and difficult to see into, but as an experienced home inspector, these are some of the issues that I look for.

Issues like these are most often overlooked by buyers of the home but can cost thousands of dollars to correct.

Equip yourself with the most information possible about what is quite possibly the largest purchase of your life. Insisting on a home inspection and choosing the most experienced inspector in the area could help you avoid issues like these.
