There's nothing like owning your own home. "there's no place like home", "home sweet home", we've all heard them. A home has some great benefits, and having a place of your own is a great comfort. A home protects your family, but you have to protect it as well. Just like a car, or family member, a home can get "sick" and if not cared for, it can cost you big bucks. At Home Resource Solutions we discuss how to protect your home, what to look for, and what a home can be.
A foundation may be the most important part of a home inspection, as it is what the entire home is built upon. So, it always baffles me when I hear of home inspectors who didn't enter the crawlspace or basement. There is so much going on down there that can affect the entire home. A foundation is an important part of the home and we should do all we can to protect it. If it needs some maintenance we should correct if before a major repair or replacement is necessary. Many times a simple fix or moisture control is all you need, but sometimes more is necessary. A foundation repair company can give you a free inspection, though they only benefit if they repair your home. Having an independent home inspector neutral in the results makes a lot of sense and is a small expense in comparison to even a minor foundation repair.

Choosing a home inspector is not just about pricing. It is a part of the process, but choosing should be based on experience, quality of service, reviews, and additional services provided to clients. Today we discuss the importance of these parts and why you need to do your homework when choosing someone to inspect your home.
Mold has an important part in our ecosystem, but when it enters our homes we have more problems. Molds can eat our buildings costing us in repairs and resale value. They also can effect our families health. Those with asthma, or allergies are escpecially afflicted by mold in the home. Knowing that mold is there is important, but more important is why is it there. Once we can determine the root cause you can address it so the mold does not come back in the future. Give us a call at Home Resource Solutions and let us help determine if a mold inspection is right for you. (253) 271-0402 www.HRSinspects.com/mold-inspection/
As a certified home inspector we are trained to deliver the most accurate professional assessment of a home. We want to give the best picture of the home to our clients. So the benefits of sewer scope inspections are not only peace of mind. It also savings on repairs. Typically, an inspection without a sewer scope is limited to what we can see with our own eyes. Unfortunately, we can't see behind walls, underground, or see defects that are obscured. With that said, we can see signs that can lead us to suspect issues that may be obscured and have tools to greatly increase our abilities.
New homes can have major defects. Are they common?, yes and no. They do happen more than they should. Some of these issues seem to be minor to the untrained eye, but in reality the results can be catastrophic. In this episode Home Resource Solutions explains some of these common issues found, and some of the not so common that can lead to major repair costs. Home Resource Solutions, www.HRSinspects.com.
