Buying a home and need a septic dye test done? We’ve got you covered!
septic dye testing is a simple way to help evaluate the wastewater disposal system during the home-buying process. We place septic-safe dye tablets through an accessible drain and run water through the plumbing system. We then monitor the property and accessible areas around the septic system for signs of dyed wastewater surfacing.
A septic dye test can provide valuable information and help identify potential concerns before you move forward with your home purchase.
Contact us today to schedule a septic dye test!

We are now offering Sewer Scope Inspections!
A sewer scope inspection allows us to look inside the home's main sewer line and identify potential concerns such as cracks, root intrusion, blockages, damaged piping, separations, or other defects that may not be visible during a standard home inspection.

Sewer scope inspections are performed by accessing the sewer line through an accessible cleanout at the property. A specialized camera is then used to inspect the interior of the sewer line and document its condition.

Sewer scope inspections are limited to accessible cleanouts. If a suitable cleanout is not accessible, the sewer scope may not be able to be performed without additional access being provided. A sewer scope can be a valuable addition to your home inspection, helping identify potential sewer line issues before they become an unexpected and costly surprise.

Contact us today to schedule your sewer scope inspection!

The attic is one of the most important areas I inspect because it can reveal a lot about a home's condition.
I'm looking for signs of water intrusion, roof leaks, mold or microbial growth, insulation issues, ventilation problems, and structural concerns that most people would never notice.

Finding these issues early can help you avoid costly surprises and gives you a better understanding of the home before you buy.
That's why I take my time in every attic I can safely access. A thorough inspection today can save you a lot of headaches tomorrow!

Not every crack in a house means there's a serious structural problem.
Most homes will develop small cracks over time as they naturally settle, and that's completely normal.

The important part is knowing when a crack is just normal settling and when it could be a sign of something bigger. As a general rule, cracks that are wider than about 1/8 inch or walls that show noticeable lateral movement or bowing are worth having evaluated further. Other signs can include doors or windows that suddenly don't close properly or floors that seem to be sloping.

When I'm doing a home inspection, I'm not just looking at one crack. I'm looking at the whole house to see if everything points to normal settling or if there are signs of a larger structural concern.
Every house has imperfections. The key is knowing which ones are normal and which ones deserve a closer look. Get a hold of me today to schedule your inspection!

Small leaks can turn into big problems.
One thing I commonly run into during home inspections is moisture or water damage in places homeowners don't always expect. A small leak under a sink, around a window, or in the basement can go unnoticed for a long time and eventually lead to expensive repairs.

Catching these issues early can help prevent mold growth, wood rot, and other damage that can become costly down the road.
Also, one thing every homeowner should keep in mind is knowing where their main water shutoff valve is located. In the event of a burst pipe or other plumbing emergency, being able to quickly shut the water off can help minimize damage and save you a lot of money and stress.

Picture I provided below is of a sink slowly leaking under the cabinet and causing wood damage/mold like growth. Reach out today to schedule your inspection of your home to catch small issues now before they become a bigger issue!

Most people that own homes rarely go into their attic, but it can reveal some of the biggest issues in a home.
During a home inspection, the attic can show signs of the following:
- Roof leaks
- Poor ventilation
- Insufficient insulation
- Moisture problems
- Previous repairs or damage
Many costly problems leave clues in the attic long before they become obvious inside the living space.

A properly functioning attic can help extend the life of your roof, improve energy efficiency, and reduce the risk of moisture-related issues.
At Ways Home Inspections, every accessible attic is inspected for signs of potential concerns so buyers can make informed decisions before purchasing a home.

Picture I provided below from an inspection I did is of a bathroom exhaust fan that vents directly into the attic which can provide excess moisture and possible mold-like growth in the future.

I figured this would be a good topic to post about after running into it during a home inspection I completed the other week.

The home I inspected had polybutylene piping which is something many homeowners and buyers may not even realize they have. Polybutylene was commonly used in homes from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s as a plumbing material but over time it became known for being more susceptible to deterioration and potential failures.

Just because a home has polybutylene piping doesn't necessarily mean there’s an immediate issue, but it is definitely something worth identifying and understanding when buying or owning a home. I posted a picture to show you what to look for if you're curious in your own home.

Have you heard of polybutylene piping before? Yes or No? Let me know below!
