Hidden home problems can turn your dream purchase into a costly nightmare.

Here's how to spot issues before you buy—straight from a pro home inspector:

• Check for uneven floors or cracks—signs of foundation troubles.
• Look for water stains or musty odors indicating leaks or mold.
• Inspect electrical outlets and switches for safety concerns.
• Don't overlook the roof—missing shingles or sagging spots matter.
• Ask about the age and condition of HVAC, plumbing, and appliances.

At LarryInspects, we go beyond the surface with thermal imaging and precise foundation measurements at no extra cost. We walk you through every finding, so you understand what it means for your new home.

Decks are more than just outdoor spaces—they're places where memories are made. But how safe is your deck really?

As a home inspector with over 23 years of experience, here's what I look for to ensure deck safety:

• Structural soundness: Are the ledger boards securely fastened to the house? Loose or rotted connections are a major hazard.
• Support posts and footings: Are they stable and properly anchored? Shifting footings can lead to collapse.
• Wood condition: Check for rot, cracks, or insect damage that weaken the deck.
• Railings and stairs: Are they sturdy and up to code? Weak guardrails or loose steps pose serious fall risks.
• Fasteners and hardware: Rust or corrosion can compromise the deck's integrity.

During inspections, I also use thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture that could cause unseen damage.

Why does this matter to you? Because a deck that looks fine on the surface might hide dangers that put your family at risk—and your investment in jeopardy.

A thorough deck inspection isn't just about safety; it's about peace of mind. If you're buying a home or want to keep your outdoor space secure, an expert inspection can save you thousands—and possibly lives.

Have you had your deck professionally inspected lately? If not, let's talk. Inspected Once – Inspected Right. That's the LarryInspects promise.

Common electrical issues can quickly turn your dream home into a costly nightmare.

From outdated wiring to improperly grounded outlets, these hidden problems pose serious safety risks and expensive repairs.

Here are some frequent electrical red flags we uncover during inspections:

• Worn or frayed wiring that could spark fires
• Absence of GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor areas
• Overloaded circuits causing frequent breakers to trip
• Improperly installed or missing grounding

One recent inspection revealed a home with multiple DIY electrical fixes that failed code and threatened safety. Catching these issues early saved the buyer thousands—and potential danger.

Understanding your home's electrical health is critical for safety and peace of mind.

That's why at LarryInspects, we provide thorough electrical evaluations with clear explanations so you know exactly what to expect.

Don't let hidden electrical problems become your nightmare. Schedule your comprehensive inspection today and move forward with confidence.

At LarryInspects, we include foundation elevation measurement with every full inspection using precision tools and thermal imaging. This helps catch hidden issues early, giving you confidence and peace of mind in your investment.
