It goes without saying…this moisture barrier is just not doing its job anymore.
If you live in a house that’s on a crawlspace, you need to have a moisture barrier that covers the ground. Moisture naturally releases from the ground and into the crawlspace, especially during these hot summer months. This can lead to all kinds of moisture damage and fungal growth.
Take a little peek in your crawlspace and see if you may be due for a new moisture barrier.
Integrity is really important to us.
We make a conscious effort to do the right thing, so we make a conscious effort to work with agents who do the same. At the end of the day we want the buyer to get the best possible home they can and we want to work with agents that share those values.

This is another small thing that can save you big!
See how the bottom of this boot is lifted at the bottom? This is a VERY common source of leaks and water intrusion, and it’s a pretty inexpensive fix!
If you happen to see any damage or lifting to the pipe boots on your roof, we recommend calling a local roofing company to take a look!
When the city or county comes to inspect your new home before the drywall goes in, they’re looking for minimum code compliance.
When we come to do a private pre-drywall inspection, we’re working on behalf of YOU, the buyer. That means that we’re going to make sure that the structure of your house is as close to perfect as possible.
Sometimes we’re pointing out things that would cause cosmetic issues, like minor cracks in concrete. Sometimes we’re finding things like broken, missing or improperly installed building materials that could cause big structural issues. A pre-drywall inspection is the only opportunity to find these kinds of defects.
While a pre-drywall, or structural inspection is not required, we strongly encourage it. A small investment now could mean peace of mind for years to come.

Door frames can really take a beating, and damage like this can be easy to miss when life gets busy. Once the wood is exposed, it becomes more susceptible to moisture damage, which can spread quickly if left unaddressed.
This is a maintenance item we see often, so keep an eye out for any damage to your door frames. Staying ahead of it can definitely save you some money!

On today’s episode of “Things we Find During Pre-Drywall Inspections.”
We found this cracked floor joist while doing a recent structural inspection. These kinds of issues can get worse over time and compromise the structural integrity of your floor.
This is why it’s so important to get a pre-drywall inspection at your new construction home. Once the drywall and flooring goes in you won’t be able to see these problems and get the builder to fix them.
One of the things that makes us different is that we leave little notes for the builder to help them find the defects we point out during a pre-drywall inspection.
When the house is just studs, a picture without much context can make it very difficult to find and fix the issues we find. That’s why we take detailed notes and leave blue tape notes to help the builder find things a little easier.
We’re all on the same side here and just want the buyer to get a quality home. That’s why we take a little extra time so that everyone can do their job efficiently and deliver the best possible product.
Our business is built on relationships. Relationships with buyers, real estate agents, and tradespeople.
One of our greatest value-adds is that we're able to bridge the gap between agents and tradespeople. We make it easy for agents to schedule all of their ancillary inspections through our website, so they don't have to call a bunch of different companies and coordinate schedules.
On the flip side, we make it easy for tradespeople to perform these inspections because we speak their language and make the process efficient for them, too.
By leveraging these relationships, everyone involved is happy. Most importantly, we have happy buyers who become happy homeowners.

Have you ever seen one of your windows fog up or look cloudy like this? This is an indication you’re the thermal seal on your window is damaged.
Thermal seal is a rubbery material that is installed between the panes of glass in your window and helps improve the window’s energy efficiency. Typically a window will have inert gas, like argon or krypton, between the 2 panes and the thermal seal keeps that gas from escaping.
When the thermal seal is compromised it allows the inert gas to seep out and the outside air to creep in. The moisture in the outside air is what causes that fogginess or cloudiness.
Windows can be tricky sometimes, so if you see this in your home, we recommend calling a window specialist to come take a look!

Did you know that deteriorated paint isn't just an aesthetic issue?
Paint and stain actually protect building materials from moisture damage. When that protective coating begins to peel, crack, or wear away, wood and other exterior surfaces become more vulnerable to water intrusion, rot, and premature deterioration.
Keeping up with exterior paint isn't just about curb appeal. It's one of the simplest ways to help protect your home and avoid more costly repairs down the road.
A little maintenance today can save you a lot of money tomorrow.
