Why a "cheap" home inspection can end up costing you thousands. 🛑🏠
I just wrapped up an inspection on a beautiful property in Bella Vista, Arkansas, and it was a stark reminder that not all home inspections are created equal. My client originally had to use a different inspector before closing. Feeling uneasy, they brought me in for a secondary inspection post-closing. What did a rushed, standard walk-through miss? Major structural issues with damaged roof trusses that now require a structural engineer to fix. The homeowner was understand

New construction looks perfect... until you bring out the thermal camera. 🖲️👀
Brand new build, hidden old problem. 💧 Found a concealed water leak during a new construction inspection here in Centerton using infrared thermography, then confirmed it with an ultrasound moisture meter. This is exactly why you always inspect new construction before you close!

Right vent, wrong install. ❌
Too low for good airflow and poorly sealed on the sides. That’s a recipe for a hot attic and water damage. Details matter! 🔎 Healthy Home and Mold Inspections on Google https://posts.gle/P3JrJ8RPphvJ96VUA?g_st=ac #HomeInspection #Roofing #HealthyHome

Radon Testing In Progress!
Bringing the best in building science to this beautiful new build! 🏠✨ We’re out on-site today dropping off a continuous radon monitor for a 48-hour assessment. Many homeowners don’t realize that new construction can still be at risk for high radon levels. Testing during the inspection phase is the smartest way to ensure your indoor air quality is safe from day one. As a certified inspector, I use professional-grade equipment to provide precise, data-driven results. Whether

New construction doesn't mean "perfect". Flashing edition.
Even on brand-new homes, the smallest details can lead to the biggest headaches. During today’s inspection, I found several critical areas where Z-flashing and joint flashing were missing on composite siding. Why Does This Matter? Siding is designed to shed water, but flashing is what actually directs that water away from your home's structural framing. Without it: Wall Penetrations: Water can seep behind light fixtures, leading to electrical shorts or hidden rot. Horizon

Ever wonder why one bedroom feels like a sauna while the living room is an ice box? 🧊🔥
I’m at a brand-new construction today, and the thermal imaging doesn't lie. We’re seeing a 20-30 degree differential between supply vents. In a new build, this usually points to unbalanced ductwork, restricted airflow, or even disconnected runs behind the drywall. Don't settle for "hot and cold spots" as just a quirk of the house. Get it inspected before you close! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThTtLoek/ https://youtube.com/shorts/DkDXDbza2fc?si=7gLhxeT2Hr4B6tsI #HomeInspectio
