Thanks to law enforcement the vehicle was found, unfortunately for the owner of the vehicle their vacation money was in the vehicle at the time of the theft and was not retrieved.

5 Reasons to Not Hire a Cheap Home Inspector

Buying a home is a big investment and probably the biggest one you will make in your lifetime. With this home, come expenses before you are handed the keys. One of those expenses is the home inspection. Home inspection costs range from $250 – $700+ depending on the size of the home and ancillary services. You may think this is one area you can cut costs but is that a good idea? Let’s look at five reasons why you don’t want to hire a cheap home inspector. 1. Certification and Experience Are Important Just like with any profession, there is a certification and credential process for a home inspector. Each state has a listing of those who are licensed and have the experience needed to make sure your home is inspected properly.

How A Fireplace Works

In fact, the energy efficiencies of fireplaces typically range from only 10% to a minus 10%. The reason the efficiency can be below zero is that the fire draws in heated air from inside the home and vents it up the chimney. In ot...

Will the Inspector find Everything?

While the inspector makes every effort to find all areas of concern, some areas can go unnoticed. Be aware that the inspector has your best interest in mind. Any repair items mentioned in the report should be considered before purchase. We recommended that qualified contractors or specialist be used in your further inspection or repair issues as it relates to the comments in the inspection report. The Standards of practice for the State of South Carolina, The American Society of Home Inspectors, and the International Association of Home Inspectors make it clear that the Home Inspection is not omniscient. The InterNACHI standards of practice specify that the general home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of the residential property. The home inspection is based on the observations made on the date of the inspection. The general home inspection will not reveal every issue that exists or ever could exist, but only those ...
