I was driving down the road heading to an Alpharetta home inspection and saw a sign at the entrance of one of John Wielands neighborhoods. The sign said “Yes You Can” and that got me to thinking…..

All Atlanta home inspectors are not created equal

As an Atlanta home inspector I often have the opportunity to talk with people about their home inspection process. The one thing that I hate to run up on is a home owner that is selling their home and I happen to be there for the buyer, and locate an issue. One of the things that I hear, is “Well I had this home inspected by (no names here) and they never mentioned it, why didn’t they tell me about this before I bought it?” A lot of the times these items are located on the roof and could be missed by someone who will not or does not walk the roof now day. Another thing I get asked is why do I take so long, once again they are comparing my three to four hour home inspection compared to their one and a half to two hour inspection. I feel sorry for these home owners who are now left holding the bag and there isn’t a thing that I can do about it. Make sure when you are calling around and getting quotes for your up coming home inspection that you are comparing apples to apples, or quality to quality. The one thing you don’t want is Cheap Charlie doing your home inspection, there is a reason why he is cheap and he may end up costing you hundreds or even thousands in the long run.

Now with all that said and done, when you find your dream home, make sure that you get a thorough home inspection from the Atlanta home inspector, David Lelak of IHI Home Inspections, he serves Canton, Alpharetta, Roswell, Cumming, Woodstock, Atlanta and all of North Georgia. Call us today at 404-788-2581 for a thorough home inspection. We won’t let you buy the money pit.

Atlanta home inspector says some Drainage problems are easily fixed

September 21, 2009 by Bonnie Lelak
Filed under Maintenance & Safety Tip

As an Atlanta home inspector, one of the things that I look for on every home inspection that I do is the gutters and where they are dumping the water. The last thing you want is the water ending up right against your foundation.

Gutter maintenance is very important and you want to keep your gutter and downspouts clear of all debris and check for any damage or separations that would prevent water from flowing properly through them. Rainwater spilling out on a concentrated area can create low places in your grade and allow water to concentrate against your foundation wall and in time can deteriorate the concrete or concrete block joints. It will also start seeping through cracks in your basement wall and cause a basement leak.

Where the water exits at the bottom of the downspout is a critical area. It must be allowed to flow away from the foundation. This can consist of a simple splash block or a drain pipe as needed. Make sure that your splash block is doing it’s job properly.

If you find that you are having trouble with your gutters or that it is time for an upgrade please give my friends at Affordable Gutters Plus a call at 770-735-4433 and they will be glad to help you out.
