HVAC Fail!
Don't let your home's HVAC system get tangled up! 😩 Incorrectly running ductwork isn't just an eyesore—it can lead to uneven heating/cooling, higher energy bills, and premature system failure. When I inspect, I check for proper an adequate differential, an even supply, sealing, and routing. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure (and a ton of savings)! #HomeInspector #HVAC #Ductwork #HomeMaintenance #EnergyEfficiency

STOP 🛑 scrolling if your house has poor grading!
Foundation heaving is when soil swells and pushes your foundation UP! ⬆️ That means cracks, uneven floors, and major headaches. 😫 As a home inspector, I see this all the time. Pro Tip: Managing your exterior drainage is key to minimizing soil moisture changes! Keep that water away ! Don't let your biggest investment literally get pushed around. Get an inspection! #FoundationHeaving #HomeInspection #RealEstate #HomeMaintenance #TikTokTaughtMe
