Healthy Home and Mold Inspections

I’m at a brand new construction today, and look what’s missing: the return air vent for the downstairs zone. ​A lot of builders think one giant return at the top of the stairs is "good enough." Spoiler alert: It’s not. Without a dedicated return downstairs, your HVAC system is basically trying to breathe through a straw. ​The result? ​Uneven temperatures (Cold spots vs. Hot spots) ​Stale, stuffy air downstairs ​Higher energy bills because your unit is working overtime ​Don

Showing up to a new construction inspection today to find the lights off is every inspector’s nightmare. It turns out this isn’t just a fluke—a massive power outage has left 20,000+ neighbors in the dark. https://youtube.com/shorts/KWwn8HBbCK4?si=Fa8CNPnbuy87HWza ​ #HomeInspection   #NewConstruction   #HomeInspectorLife   #NorthwestArkansas   #PowerOutage

​Check out these window handles! This is exactly why I test every single fixture, handle, and switch—even on a new build. Small misses like this can be a sign of a rushed job. My goal? Making sure you don't have a "to-do" list the second you get your keys. ​Keep those standards high! 🛠️✨ https://youtube.com/shorts/XNTQizO2hag?si=Uo1o9tlK5tpqgvAp ​ #NewBuild   #HomeInspectorLife   #HomeBuying101   #ConstructionFail   #newhome

I thought I was showing up for a home inspection, but apparently, I stepped into a time machine back to a 1994 Exxon station. ⛽️🥄 ​The only thing missing is the smell of stale coffee and a rack of beef jerky. If I lose this "fob," I’m pretty sure I lose my license. ​Anyone else getting flashbacks to asking the cashier for the bathroom key? 😂 https://youtube.com/shorts/862uZHycXxg?si=Vg7pSboT8Ty9fBv0 #HomeInspectorLife   #RealEstateHumor   #OldSchool   #HomeInspection   #Th

Inspecting a home is never a one-size-fits-all job! From navigating the charm (and quirks!) of historic homes with their aged systems and unique construction, to assessing the latest building standards and complex smart features in a brand new build, a home inspector needs serious versatility. One day you're hunting for knob-and-tube wiring, the next you're checking HVAC efficiency. We adapt to ensure a thorough inspection, no matter the age! ​ #HomeInspection   #OldHouseChar

You never know who you'll find helping out on a job! Today, I had a very distinguished guest sitting in on the inspection. He kept saying the leaky faucet problem would fix itself if we just cut taxes on the rich pipes. ​Don't worry, I trust my tools more than his economics. Everything's still getting checked! 😉 ​ #ReaganomicsOfRealEstate ​ #HomeInspectionHumor ​ #CardboardCrew ​ #TheGreatCommunicator ​ #HomeInspectorLife
