Atlanta home inspectors funny findings

Atlanta Home Inspector — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 13:39:31 +0000

As an Atlanta home inspector I often find funny things all the time during my Atlanta home inspections that make you ask the age old question “what we’re they thinking?” During this Atlanta home inspection I found where the deck was built and one of the support post had a stump as the footer. Now I’ve seen some pretty unique footing systems during my home inspection career, but this one really made me laugh. I was able to insert my screw driver all the way into the stump with very little pressure at all. Now hopefully most of you know why this is a problem but just incase you don’t here is the issue. As this stump is rotting, it is allowing the post to sink, which in turn makes the deck unlevel. Now that is not the biggest issue. The biggest issue is the strain that this puts on the items that attached this deck to the house. In older homes they simply used nails and other items instead of lag bolts. If that is the case here, then you’re looking for a major accident to happen once the party moves outside on the deck. Most deck post are supported either by a poured footer or at least a concrete block.

Atlanta home inspector shares another home inspection picture

Atlanta Home Inspector — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:52:47 +0000

As the Atlanta home inspector I am out there everyday doing home inspections to make sure that clients are protected and have peace of mind about the home they are about to purchase. Most of the clients appreciate how thorough I am and the fact that no area goes unchecked, including the roof, attic and crawl spaces. Inserted is a picture of where I found a Garage door springs that needs a safety cable running through it just in case they break. Most of the time home owners don’t think about this or the fact that if they break and there is no safety cable there they can fly down and hit someones car or personal belongs or worse, hit someone in the face. Safety is our main concern and I inspect every home as if I was going to be living there.

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.
