A-Z Home Inspections Lafayette

I have done a lot of older homes recently and it just amazes me how there is a total lack of smoke detectors. Especially older homes where the potential of a fire is more expected. Also the total lack of Carbon Monoxide Detectors in almost all of the homes I inspect, newer or older. New home construction requires a combination Smoke/ CO detectors which is great but they are usually mounted on the ceiling or high on the walls. Carbon monoxide trends to stay lower to the floor and by the time it reaches the ceiling the detector goes off and you are in bed or sitting close to the floor it may be too late for you…. Please everyone install new smoke detectors in each room on each floor and definitely install new CO detectors on each floor of your home. These are inexpensive devices that can save your lives! Please install new smoke detectors and CO detectors in your home. I’ll never get to say “I’ve seen it all “.

Saw this recently in a basement. The old couch with a bathroom vent fan and light just above with the venting duct going out though the window in the back. What kind of activity do you think was going on here. Lol. I’ll never get to say “I’ve seen it all”.

After a very busy and very HOT week it’s going to be a great day weather wise. Relax and do not labor today. Take it easy and get ready to get back at it tomorrow.

As September 1st. is closing looking back at August and how quickly it has passed. August was one of the best months for A-Z Home Inspections in the almost 12 years I’ve been in business. Thank you so much to all of my Realtor friends and clients who have trusted me with inspecting the biggest and most expensive purchase of their life. I take what I do very seriously but I’m a human being and can make some mistakes. Again thank you all for your continued support and trust. Wishing you all a great September!

In almost 12 years of doing inspections I believe I’ve never seen a corner kitchen cabinet like this. Very impressive too the cabinet maker! I’ll never get to say “I’ve seen it all “. This took incredible craftsmanship.

I do find some mold from time to time. It’s usually just a thin coating on the joists or subfloor but this is thick. The basement had standing water all around that doesn’t seem to go away. The concrete floor was covered with mud. This is a perfect breeding ground for mold. I could hardly breathe and my eyes were watering. I’m still coughing. I’ll never get to say “I’ve seen it all “. Oh. And There were people living in this home.
