Inspection Gallery

  • A two-story light blue house with a screened porch, surrounded by a yard with trees and bushes, cloudy sky, and a gravel driveway.

    This house had really cool vibes & an amazing French Drain system which distributed rainfall perfectly, despite the grade of the yard.

  • An electrical panel with circuit breakers and wires, labeled with various functions including septic pump, pump, entertainment, septic alarm, master, and others.

    This was a very nicely wired service panel. I love how they used lengths of Romex wire sheathing to safely label the breakers.

  • Overcast day with view of mountains and snow-capped peaks in the distance, surrounded by green trees and a view of a body of water.

    Can’t beat that view. It’s gorge on the Gorge, Columbia River Valley. This was a beautiful piece of property.

  • Decks

    Wow. Just wow. Would you walk on this deck?

  • Part of a building's foundation with pink insulation foam, a brick support column covered in black waterproofing, and a black protective sheet on the ground.

    I love a properly encapsulated crawlspace. It’s a big expense, but it can save allot of money and headache in the long run.

  • Sunset over a forested landscape with trees and lush green foliage, with the sun partially visible near the horizon and a colorful sky with purple and pink hues.

    Who doesn’t love a good sunset?

  • Flir Android

    The edges of exterior doors are one of the places you’re most likely to find conditioned air escaping your house & unconditioned air intruding. The IR cameras are super helpful when trying to determine where to focus your efforts in improving a homes efficiency.

  • Close-up view of a metal roof with two interconnected sections, surrounded by trees and a distant view of hills and sky in the background.

    These corrugated metal roofs can last a really long time! Even this can probably be fixed up with an elastomeric roofing product. Recommend evaluation & reapir by a qualified contractor.

  • Structural Integrity

    If you look closely you can see this chimney beginning to tilt off to the right, as settlement has been progressing down and to the left for many years. That’s not good!

  • Roofing & Shingles

    A little bit of movement at the bottom of a structure can lead to allot of movement above. These old brick masonry chimneys incredible structures, check out the angle this one has taken on over time. Still standing though.

  • Insulated attic space showing foam spray insulation, ductwork, wiring, and wooden beams.

    Now that’s a nice attic. Fully sealed, spray foam insulation, they did a great job.

  • View of a wall with an open rectangular hole revealing lead plumbing pipes and wooden framing inside the wall

    Many homes in the Pacific Northwest still have lead plumbing! Definitely not something you want to find out about after the deal closes.

  • A partially torn bright green craft beer can adhered to a rusted metal surface underneath an old, weathered corrugated metal roof with patches of white paint and scattered dry leaves.

    Improper flashing material at roof edge. “Beer Can” is not a proper roof flashing material. Beer can appears to be functioning at intended, and has perhaps been doing so for some time. Recommend repair by a qualified contractor & replacement with UL listed flashing material.

  • Close-up of an HVAC unit with exposed wiring and pipes, installed on a black plastic sheet on the floor, with some gray concrete blocks in the background.

    HVAC systems produce allot of condensation. It’s important to have someone check out these condensate pumps every once in a while. Otherwise you won’t know they’ve failed till there’s a little flood in your attic or crawlspace!

  • Close-up of a wooden structure with a gap and some weeds, leaves, and pine cone on the ground.

    Structural problems develop slowly & often go unnoticed… Until something collapses that is. Getting out ahead of these issues saves allot of expense.

  • Digital insulation tester displaying a reading of 30.

    No ground, no neutral, & only delivering 30 volts rather than 120. Wonder where the rest of that power is going… The homeowner had no idea that this outlet might be dangerous.
