Scott Home Inspection

Yeah, I HAVE THAT REPUTATION

You will have to decide, go with the inspector your agent suggests, the one that markets to and gets their inspections from that agent, or go with the inspector with nearly 5 decades of experience and has no connection with agents. You wouldn’t find my cards or brochures in their offices.I work for you not them.

INFRARED EVALUATIONS

SEE MORE THAN THE EYE CAN SEE

An infrared (IR) camera can see light waves that are not visible to the human eye. I’m a Level II certified Thermographer. (Which means I’ve had extensive training to understand the science behind IR.) It can be a valuable addition to the Home Inspection. For specific applications under specific conditions, it can provide invaluable information. Additionally, keep in mind that anything found with IR needs to be confirmed by another process. If interested, you need to understand what it can and cannot do. Is it a “Home Inspection Tool”, maybe yes, and maybe no. Find out.

STUCCO INSPECTIONS

STUCCO INSPECTIONS

ALL SIDINGS LEAK !! If you own or are contemplating purchasing a stucco on frame house, we need to talk. I’ve been doing “stucco inspections” since 1996. I am one of the first inspectors in southeastern Pa. to obtain specific certification for this. Like Chicken Little, I’ve been warning all my clients purchasing stucco-clad houses to get a FULL invasive stucco inspection. The failure rate with stucco-clad houses on frame walls is over 50% with houses built in the last 25 – 30 years. Simply put, do not buy a stucco-clad house without a full invasive inspection using the strictest standards available. If you own a stucco on frame house, get it inspected using the same standards and you may save tens of thousands of dollars when you go to sell. Don’t wait until you sell. Once a buyer gets involved, your options will go down to “O”. I’ve seen the defective stucco tsunami from several sides which gives me a unique perspective. The sellers’ side when I’m doing a pre-listing stucco inspection, the buyers’ side when I doing one with a home inspection for a buyer, and an owners side who is keeping their house and preparing for the future.
