Foundation / Structure: Evidence of settlement indicates many possibilities. Typical findings could be small cracks in structural concrete, small cracks visible in wall finishes, and doors out of alignment that do not close and latch properly.

Crawl Space / Basement: We use a whole new approach to checking for seepage, moisture, and possibility of mold. It's Important to know If repairs are necessary, so that you can hire a professional contractor and determine potential costs. It's best to know these answers before you purchase.

Electrical: The safety and function of the system is critical. We check how the circuits are wired, the continuity to outlets, fixtures, applicances, insurance standards.

Exterior: The exterior may look good to the common eye but the perception and recommendations of the professionals are more keen. Weather may create several concerns for siding products if there is lack of care and maintenance or lack of pride of ownership in seasonal care.

Plumbing: We inspect for leaks, what materials are used, and the installation of systems including proper function & safety. Life spans & maintenance tips for all systems may extend the life expectancy and serviceability of these most important components.

As many of you know, we feel it is important to recycle unwanted, useable items to those in need. I keep a list of wants/needs in my daily folder for easy reference. If you have a need and want to be added to the list, just let us know. If you have any good, useable items such as appliances, cabinets, building materials that you wish to get rid of please call to see if we have someone on our waiting list who would be interested or give us an opportunity to find it a good home. If we don't find a taker we can direct you to good needy organizations that may be willing to come and pick it up from you. Your donations are greatly appreciated and may just save you the effort and expense of hauling the items to the land fill.

Here are a few sites worth checking out if you want to help others reduce the items that could otherwise go the land fills.

Believe it or not, there is a website where you can purchase 1, 2, 3 story homes, cottages, and more that need to be relocated and the purchase price includes moving the home to your property for unbelievable prices. Check it out. http://www.nickelbros.com/faqhouse.html
