🔍 New Tool, Better Inspections!

At Koala Home Inspections, we're always looking for ways to provide our clients with a more thorough inspection. That's why we've added a new tool to our arsenal—the CrawlBot!

This remote-controlled crawler allows us to safely access and inspect areas of crawlspaces that may be difficult, unsafe, or impossible to reach during a traditional inspection. Equipped with lights and a camera, the CrawlBot helps us document conditions deep within crawlspaces, giving clients a better understanding of what's happening beneath their home.

From foundation concerns and moisture issues to plumbing, electrical, and structural observations, the CrawlBot helps us see more and report more.

Technology doesn't replace experience—but when combined with a thorough inspection, it helps uncover issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.

🏠 More access. More information. More confidence.

Weekend inspections mean a weekday mountain reset. Nothing beats a hump day with 14+ runs, 15,000 feet of vertical drop, and an igloo. Back at it today recharged and helping clients. Lets GO

Built the business so I can take random ski days. 🏠⛷️
Work hard, play harder. First turns of the season at Loon and I can barely walk.... I'm trying to find my ski legs after the summer.
💯 worth it

🔍 Home Inspection Finding – Double (or Triple!) Trouble on the Roof 🏠🔨

During today’s inspection, I spotted something that always raises an eyebrow: multiple layers of roofing shingles.

At first glance, it might look like extra protection…
But in reality, it’s more like stacking bandaids on a wound without ever checking what’s underneath.

⚠️ Why Multiple Layers Are a Problem
Added weight on the roof structure
Trapped heat, shortening shingle lifespan
Hidden damage—rot, leaks, and soft decking are easy to miss
Limited service life of the new layer
More costly tear-off when it’s time for replacement
Layers hide a lot—but not from moisture, and definitely not from inspectors.

🛠️ What Homeowners Should Know

When the roof is due for replacement, a full tear-off is the best path. It allows the roofer to inspect the decking, repair any damage, and install a fresh roof the right way.

🔍 Home Inspection Finding – The Well I Definitely Didn’t Want to Find… 💧👻

While crawling under an old farmhouse today, my flashlight landed on something I really wasn’t expecting:

An uncovered well.
In the basement.
In the dark.
All alone.

If you’ve ever seen The Ring, you already know the exact moment I questioned every career decision I’ve ever made. 😅
I half-expected wet footprints and whispering voices… but thankfully, nothing climbed out while I was down there.

⚠️ Why This Is More Than Just Creepy

Aside from summoning horror-movie flashbacks, an uncovered well can pose serious issues:
Fall/drowning hazard for pets or kids
Elevated moisture and mold risk
Pathway for pests (the living kind… hopefully)

🛠️ Recommendation

Have a qualified contractor evaluate and properly cover or seal the well. Open wells inside a home are both unsafe and a source of moisture problems—hauntings optional.
