My service is a little bit different than others. An Example, if you can see or smell what you may think is mold, I do not charge for a complete Visual Inspection, it saves you time and money. I only charge for the house call plus two(2) air samples, which the Laboratory must have for a complete report. Depending on the situation, there are times a tape sample or an in the wall sample may be required. These air or contact samples are an additional cost.Once the results have been returned by the laboratory, you will be given a copy of the report along with a written estimate to make all needed repairs. The above picture on the left shows a water leak around the electrical panel. First, remember that Water and Electricity do not mix. A water leak around the electrical panel can cause shorting within the panel and a possible electrical fire. It is not a question of "If" it will happen, but "When". Maybe while you are in bed asleep. Also, stucco acts like a sponge. Water will leach through the stucco walls. Now you have the three (3) sources for Mold or Fungi to grow. A source of Food, A Surface to grow on And Moisture. The above picture on the right shows metal studs rusted out, but the Wet Dry Wall is the Villain. It is the Food Source for this Mold Problem. |
These Two (2) Pictures are Very Important. Why ?
The above picture on the left shows a
good possibility of an electrical short and possible fire
in the attic. Why was this Inspection Important ?
This was a
"New Home" Under Warranty.
The new home owner had a checklist for needed repairs / adjustments that
must be completed before the new owner signs off on the completed
repairs. My report was added to that checklist and
saved the new owner possible problems in the future. |
