Today Marked my 42nd First Day of School.

For the last 25 years, I’ve been in public education teaching Technology Education. Over 20 of those years has been teaching Construction Science to high school students. It’s these two things that have translated to my career as a Home Inspector: a knowledge of how the home was built and the ability to educate someone on how the systems of their home work together.

In the other side, I get to teach my students how to start their own business. Here’s to another school year.

The attic space is usually the great unknown in a house. You never really know what to expect until you’re in there. Although usually a mystery, the attic is one of the more important systems of a home to make sure that it’s properly functioning.

The attic space must be well ventilated. According to modern building practices, the best ventilation are soffit vents in conjunction with a ridge vent. Air flows up through the soffit vents at the eaves of the house and escapes through the ridge vent. It is important that this vent have some kind of a filter over it (like this one) to prevent animals and pests from getting inside.

Well flow testing measures how much water your well can produce over a period of time. While the faucets may run during a quick showing, that doesn’t necessarily mean the well can keep up with the demands of daily life.

A well flow test helps determine:
• Whether the well produces an adequate amount of water.
• If the well can sustain normal household usage.
• Whether there may be issues with the well, pump, or aquifer.

When purchasing a home with a private well, a flow test provides valuable information about the reliability of the property’s water supply. Pairing it with a water quality test gives buyers confidence that the water is not only available, but also safe to use.

The use of a Flow Meter allows me to measure how many gallons per minute (top number) are being run at 15 minute intervals while also measuring the total number of gallons (bottom number) that have been run during the test.

Today’s is brought to you by being 5’3” and 150 pounds.

In all seriousness, a home inspection is a visual inspection of the READILY ACCESSIBLE systems and components of a home. If there is an area I can safely access, I will do so.

When I first started performing inspections nearly 5 years ago, Joshua Amodio gave me the advice of, “Be willing to go where others can’t or won’t.”

Yes, the photo opportunities in these areas are fun, but the additional information I’m able to provide to my clients is invaluable.

What an incredible summer it’s already shaping up to be. Thank you to the agents and past clients that continue to refer me. And a special thank you to the agents who request a 14-day inspection period.

Right to Home Inspection Act
Assembly Bill A9629 and Senate Bill S8729

A bill currently being considered in New York could significantly change the home-buying process by giving buyers additional protections.

Some key highlights include:

✔️ Establishes a buyer’s right to obtain a home inspection.

✔️ Creates a 10-business day (14 calendar day) inspection period from the date a contract is signed.

✔️ Allows buyers to cancel the contract during that period based on inspection findings.

✔️ Aims to reduce pressure on buyers to waive inspections in competitive markets.

Why does this matter?

A home is often the largest purchase you’ll ever make. A professional home inspection helps identify safety concerns, major defects, and costly repairs before closing, giving buyers the information they need to make an informed purchase decision.

Whether this legislation ultimately becomes law or not, understanding the condition of a home before purchasing remains one of the most important steps in the buying process.

The attic is a critical system within your home. During an attic inspection, the inspector will report on how the attic was accessed, the structure of the attic including rafters, trusses, roof decking, and any flooring. Also included is the type of insulation and any ventilation.

Common observations include damaged structural components, discoloration indicating possible leaks or even possible mold, soffit vents covered by insulation, and bathroom vents that terminate in the attic.
