an abundance of heat and the presence of lint. Lint not only builds up in the collection tray but also in the dryer exhaust vent. Lint build up in a vent can cause it to become disconnected as seen below…

Can roof debri cause damage to your roof?

Leaves, branches, pine needles, and other debris from trees are more likely to settle on the roof’s surface and in gutters. Keep in mind that excessive debris buildup can mean trouble to your roofing system and even the rest of your home. Debris that is on your roof and gutters can retain moisture, which can lead to early material deterioration. They can contribute to rot and even encourage mold growth.

If your gutters have clogs, water will back up to the roof and overflow to your home’s exterior. It can risk your house’s foundation and basement and damage. Another part of your property that an inefficient gutter system can compromise is your landscaping. Like your roof, they also need regular inspection, cleaning, and maintenance to ensure good water flow.

Where does radon come from? How does it affect people? How do we test for it? Radon gas is a dangerous gas that come for the break down of organic matter under you home (such as uranium and radium). Radon is the #1 leading cause of lung cancer in non smokers. The colorless odorless tasteless gas when breathed in moves to the lining in your lung and then begins to damage the cells inside of your lungs. Radon test are done over a duration of 2-3 days. A device is place in the home set up and left to collect data. Once the data is collected, we send over a well documented easy to read report stating our findings.

Do we inspect New Builds? Yes! New build inspections are very important, the process allows you to have all issues resolved prior to move in.

On a new build inspection recently we found 2 roof trusses that were damaged a the truss plate. Roof trusses are engineered components. When damaged or altered this can effect structural integrity of the roof system. Localized damage to one or two trusses will typically not result in structural failure of the roof system, but could cause the roof or ceiling to sag.

Insulation is such an important part of a home. Insulation is required in several parts of the home (attic, walls and floor spaces). Older homes generally don’t have insulation in the floor joists. When no insulation is seen in a crawlspace we always recommend it be added. Insulation can increase energy efficiency, reduce drafting and creates a moisture barrier for your flooring system.
