Did you know smoke detectors turn yellow as they age? The yellowing is caused by the fire-retardant bromine in the plastic, signaling that it's time for a replacement. If your smoke detector looks yellow, check the manufacturing date near the battery compartment. No date? It's more than 10 years old and should be replaced for your safety.

Friday inspection…
Went up to check the attic insulation…
Ended up wearing it instead. 😅

Some days you inspect the house…
some days the house wins.

💧 This came out of my water heater this morning… and it’s only 2 years old.

Yep — all that white sediment came out when I flushed the tank.

Most homeowners assume sediment buildup takes many years, but minerals in the water can start settling in the bottom of the tank much sooner than people think.

Over time that buildup can lead to:
• Rumbling or popping noises
• Reduced efficiency
• Less hot water
• Shorter water heater lifespan

The good news?
👉 Flushing your water heater once a year helps remove sediment and keep it running efficiently.

It’s a simple maintenance item that can help you get more life out of your water heater and avoid premature failure.
Most people never think about it… until the hot water runs out.

When was the last time yours was flushed? 👀

48 hr radon testing vs state free test kit video.

If you don't want to watch, recap:

48 hour testing can be useful for quick turnaround times, typically used for real estate transactions. Reports received same day monitor is picked up. Turnaround time - typically 48-72 hours (depending on closed home conditions prior to setting)

Free test kit got similar results (mine were low), but much longer timeframe. Turnaround time - 3+ weeks, time may vary greatly depending on kit availability and postal service speed.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the ground. It’s invisible, odorless, and can only be detected through testing. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels is a known health risk.
In Tennessee, homeowners can request free radon test kits, which typically take several days to complete. Professional radon testing is a paid service that must run a minimum of 48 hours, with results usually available in 48–72 hours.
I’ve started running both tests side by side and will share a comparison once results are in.

When you’re buying new construction, it’s easy to think you can skip the home inspection…
until you see what “brand-new” actually looks like behind the walls.

This house had:
• Bathroom moisture venting into the attic
• A missing water heater condensate drain
• Plumbing and electrical issues
• And multiple workmanship defects — all in a home that hasn’t even been lived in yet

New doesn’t mean perfect.
It just means the problems haven’t had time to show themselves.

You never know what you’ll find in a crawlspace… but today’s surprise had whiskers! 🐱

While inspecting a home, we came across a mama cat and her kittens tucked away behind a sealed crawlspace door. After letting the listing agent know, we found out the homeowners don’t even have a cat! 😅

We tried to help rescue them, but mama made it clear she wasn’t ready to move her family just yet — so we left her cozy and safe while the agent arranged for professionals to relocate them to a good home. 💚

Just another day in the life of the Crawlspace Queen! 👑
