I'm exited to announce that we now offer licensed commercial drone roof inspections. When a roof is not safe to walk on we will inspect it with high quality drone photography. Although this required a substantial financial and time commitment to provide this service, we will do what it takes to offer the best home inspection service in the area.

Okay followers, you should have already taken any hoses off your exterior faucet. Leaving a hose connected in freezing weather can cause damage to the faucet.
An easy way to check for freeze damage is to seal the end of the faucet with your finger and turn the faucet so it just comes on. It should pop your finger off immediately. If you can hear water running with your finger on you've damaged the faucet. Turn it off and call a plumber to replace the faucet.
If you have older "non frost proof" faucets you'll need to turn off the interior shut off and open the exterior faucet to drain it.
Message me if you have any questions.

Sometimes you just have to shake your head. Why would you put your laundry chute on top of the water heater and the furnace vent? Maybe they put their clothes down the chute AFTER washing them and the hot vents dry them.... LOL

We inspected a home built in the late 1930's and found an interesting and serious issue with the fireplace. Looking up the fireplace there was a gap between the fireplace throat and the adjacent flue (for the furnace and water heater). This allows heat, smoke and creosote into the chimney with no place to go. There was also charred wood in the throat of the fireplace left there during construction. Obviously this fireplace had been used many times. Sometimes you wonder why a house hasn't burned down yet.

Engineered floor joists are a great thing if the builder follows the manufacturer's instructions. This is what can happen if you don't! Crushed floor joists because the builder didn't installed simple squash blocks. Serious problem without an easy solution.

I have a fear of over engineered buildings. I have a complex, complex, complex.🤣
