HVAC ducts should be secured to the floor structure and be installed at least 6″ from the crawlspace floor. This will prevent moisture from penetrating the insulation on the duct causing mold and an unsafe enviroment in the living space above. Often time when work is being performed under the house, the worker will climb over the duct breaking the mounting straps and sometimes bending and collapsing the duct preventing proper air flow to the structure. It can also be pulled loose from the main trunk. This is another important reason one should consider a home inspection prior to purchasing a home.

My inspection experience was really great! Doug was so nice and I could tell he was very knowledgeable about his job. He explained things thoroughly and didn’t rush the process.
Thank you!
Amanda
I was skeptical of a home inspection because of the horror stories that I’ve heard of them; however, my experience was completely the opposite. I was highly impressed with how thorough Doug was with his inspection. It was a HUGE help as we continue towards the purchase of our first home. I would highly recommend UltraSound to anyone, friend or family.
Great experience! Doug was very professional and his report could not have been more thorough. I would recommend Doug and UltraSound to anyone needing a home inspection. Thank you.
Doug did a great job going through the house with a fine tooth comb. He was much more thorough than I imagined. It was apparent that the seller did nothing to prepare her home to sell it, so Doug’s task was more laborious. Regardless he took the time to go through various issues.

The inspection process went well. We received detail explanation of the inspection result from Mr. Doug Day. He is so knowledgeable and detail oriented about the issues he explained. Mr. Day is very friendly who encouraged us to ask and who also answered our questions to our satisfaction.

Veo did a stellar job! He was friendly, patient, clear and concise. The report was easy to understand and well put together. I especially liked the summery report that was provided alongside the full report. We would definitely recommend your services to anyone who asks! Thanks for helping us get one step closer to moving into our new home.
We were extremely pleased with our inspection process. From the initial confirmation to the swift and thorough completion of the inspection every aspect was carried out with enthusiasm and professionalism.
Veo’s friendly demeanor put us at ease immediately. His considerable knowledge in his field and focus on the work at hand were exemplary.After reading the in-depth completed report, which we were very pleased with, we had a couple of questions for Veo. We placed a call into his home office and he returned our call within one hour! Talk about service after the sale… Exceptional, just incredible!
We would, without hesitation recommend Veo and Ultrasound to anyone needing an inspection.

Andrea Stratton
Hello,
I am writing to let you know how impressed my wife and I were with the level of detail and professionalism that Veo provided in our recent home inspection. My wife and I have had two other home purchase inspections in the past year and neither came close to the level of thoroughness or professionalism that Veo provided.
Thank you for an excellent home inspection!

What Our Customers Say About Irv
I had a great experience. Irv was willing to speak on the phone and listen to my specific concerns about the house, and in his report he addressed those specific concerns. He identified a handful of issues that I would not have been able to identify myself, which will end up saving me money in the long-run.
Kramer
Irv was fantastic. He clearly explained everything he was doing, gave me upkeep and maintenance tips to make sure my house remains safe and well kept for years to come. Thanks, Ultrasound and Irv. 10 out of 10 in my book.
Eric
My experience with Irv was great. He was friendly, eager to explain his findings and answer my questions. The inspection report was very detailed and easy to understand. Great experience overall.
