Mushrooms on your pizza? Sure.
Mushrooms under your home? No thank you.

This home was previously “inspected”… but the crawlspace was never entered.

What I found instead: active moisture, fungal growth, and conditions that can lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed.

I get it — crawlspaces aren’t fun. But that’s exactly where some of the biggest issues hide.

✔ I crawl
✔ I check attics
✔ I walk roofs
✔ I don’t skip the hard parts

My job is to give you the full picture so you can make the right decision.

Buyers: This is why a good home inspection matters.
Agents: This is how you protect your clients- and yourself.

This skylight showed no interior signs of trouble, but the exterior told a different story.

Catching issues early can help prevent costly repairs down the road.

That’s the value of a thorough inspection.

**Video footage shown was taken during roof replacement — not during an inspection. An earlier evaluation may have identified the issue before deterioration progressed this far.

This back door is missing its sill.
A door sill is what prevents air and water from getting in your home. Or with this sized gap- a mouse.

Some electricians get into the lazy habit of simply twisting ground wires together and leaving them that way, with no wirenut, dead-end compression joint, or solder to hold them together. Unfortunately, this does not produce a solid electrical connection, as there are only a few actual contact points in the bundle with nothing to compress it together or fill the gaps, and thus may fail under an actual fault condition. Having your electrical properly grounded IS important.

How much moisture in your drywall is too much?

This home had indications of a roof leak from the damaged drywall on the ceiling I observed. Walls in homes with healthy humidity levels can typically have a moisture reading between 5 and 12%. However, 16% or higher is considered damp and is recommended to be properly addressed to avoid potential mold problems. This one was cutting it close with a 14% reading, and my further investigating revealed mold starting in various locations in the attic as well as some of the framing still holding a good amount of moisture.

Without this inspection, there is no telling how bad this could have gotten for my client, especially since mold accelerates growth in dark and damp locations. (Water leaks, flooding, high humidity, and condensation all provide moisture mold can use to grow and spread.)

It's safe to say this inspection has paid for itself!

I was surprised to see this pier block location was not only under supported, but was also "balancing on a rock." The beam that was supporting the floor joists, was being held in by only a couple of 2x4 blocks.
This is where the master bedroom is located and it had a 7" drop from one side of the room to the other. The living area was significantly under supported as well and faced the same challenges.

Potential spots for water intrusion will only lead to damage and wood decay. This mudsill was left exposed to the elements as well as it had improper framing and siding. This rot could have been avoided if it had been caught in the earlier stages and fixed.

Did you know?

Moss growing on roof tiles or shingles can lead to multiple problems such as wood rotting or causing obstruction to the drainage points? Moss retains water and if left on a roof for long periods, it can cause damage including cracks to tiles. Ultimately moss growth on any roof can result in costly repairs, and can also greatly reduce the lifespan of your roof.

If found early, it can be taken care of for only hundreds of dollars instead of thousands in repairs.
