When your inspector takes the time to explain everything — that's not extra. That's the standard. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A great inspection isn't just about finding issues. It's about making sure your client walks away informed and confident. That's what Gavin delivered for SD in Watertown, CT. 🏡

Renovating? Ask your contractors where they're disposing of their waste. 🔨 Paint, joint compound, and construction debris rinsed down your drains can destroy your septic system or clog your sewer line — fast. After 45 years inspecting homes across Connecticut, we've seen the damage firsthand. Watch to learn the simple rules that protect your system. 🏠

Painting over damp wood isn't a shortcut — it's a ticking clock. ⏱️ Most exterior paint failures come down to one thing: skipping prep. Before you pick up a brush, make sure surfaces are dry, loose paint is scraped, and the wood is solid. Swipe through to see exactly what that looks like — and what happens when you don't. 📋

🧱 Did you know your chimney could be silently suffering? Spalling bricks — where moisture seeps in and freezes during winter freeze/thaw cycles — can cause serious damage over time if left untreated. Our inspectors catch issues like this before they become costly repairs! 🏠🔍
Always consult a chimney expert for repairs, and protect your bricks with a vapor-permeable water repellent like Chimney Saver afterward. That's the Schaefer difference!

Dave was excited about his first BBQ of the season. 🍔

The grill? Also fired up — a little too fired up. Flare-ups happen fast, especially when a grill is too close to the house. (Swipe to see what Bruce did about it. ➡️)

At Schaefer Inspection Service, we see grill-related damage every summer — heat-warped siding, scorched trim, and close calls that could have been avoided.

A few tips before you fire up this season:
🔥 Keep the grill 3–5 ft from siding, railings & decks
🔥 Never grill under overhangs or low branches
🔥 Always open the lid before lighting
🔥 Check gas lines for cracks or leaks
🔥 Never leave a lit grill unattended

Keep the heat on the grill — not on your home.

Mulch can help your home… or hurt it. 🌿
Placing mulch too close to your foundation can trap moisture and create the perfect environment for pests like ants and termites.
The better move?
✔️ Keep mulch a few inches away from the foundation
✔️ Avoid piling it too high
✔️ Use it to direct moisture away from the home—not toward it
It’s small details like this that make a big difference over time.
The Schaefer way is all about spotting—and preventing—these issues before they become costly problems.
