Excessive HVAC Condensation Found During Franklin TN Home Inspection

Condensation is often found dripping from HVAC ducts during the summer months under houses in the crawlspace. When crawlspace vents are left open, hot humid air comes in contact with the cold ducts creating this condition. Gallons of water can be generated daily which can lead to fungi and mold in the floor structure. If there is not a moisture intrusion issue under your house, it is best to keep the crawlspace vents closed year round.

Roof structures are often found being supported by garage ceiings that were not designed to carry the extra weight of the roof creating sagging and cracks in the garage ceiling as well as settlement in the roof structure.

THE MOST thorough, complete and professional home inspection we’ve ever experienced!

In the past 25 years we have purchased over a dozen homes and have had home inspections performed on each one.

We recently purchased a new property and are happy to say that Ultra Sound Home Inspections performed THE MOST thorough, complete and professional home inspection we’ve ever experienced!

Bill and Kimpy Collins (Owners/Inspectors of Ultra Sound Home Inspections) are polite, professional, knowledgeable and timely in their inspection. The photo slide show of their findings and a verbal walk-through of the inspection results is invaluable and their follow-up written report is very clear and easy to understand.

We will definitely continue to use Ultra Sound Home Inspections in our future home inspections and look forward to working with them in the future!

Video- Unsafe Electrical Breakers Discovered by Franklin TN Home Inspector

Electrical appliances that are rated for 220 volt should have the proper size electrical breaker installed in the panel enclosure that are tied together so that if one of it’s 110 volt legs gets overloaded, it will trip both legs of the breaker.

Video-Structural Termite Damage Found During Franklin TN Home Inspection

Termite damage in floor structures are often found during Franklin TN Home Inspections and can cause serious structural damage and significant settlement. Keep moisture out from under the house and having a anual termite inspection can prevent this from occuring.

Many of the home inspectors working in the Middle Tennessee area are unlicensed, uninsured, or unqualified to inspect your home…

By choosing just any inspector, you could end up purchasing a “nightmare”.

Your home is a big investment… Why take the risk of hiring an unqualified or inexperienced home inspector?

Buying a home can be nerve wracking and scary… and yet buying a home is exciting too…

Buying A Home Is Probably The Largest Purchase You’ll Ever Make…

And you’re excited about your new home. Everything seems to be right about this home. It’s the right location, the right floor plan, the right look and feel…

You believe that the investment you’re about to make is a sound investment…

But how do you know for sure? You’ve heard the saying ‘looks can be deceiving’. Could your house be hiding something that you’re not prepared for? Is there an unexpected problem waiting to pop up once you get into the home?

Almost every house has issues. The question isn’t whether the home you’re buying has issues or not… the question is… what are the issues and how big are those issues?

The answer to that will help you to know if the home you’re buying really is a sound investment…

Or whether the house has major repairs that are needed or soon will be… and whether or not the home has safety issues that could impact the health and well-being of your family…

Radon is Rampant In Tennessee

Unfortunately, all of Middle Tennessee is in the EPA’s Highest Radon Zones. Not many people, including most Real Estate Professionals, are aware of this issue.

Radon gas is a toxic gas that seeps into homes through the foundations. And it doesn’t matter if your home is built on a basement, crawlspace or a slab, this deadly gas can seep in and it doesn’t matter if it’s brand new construction or a 50 year old home.

It’s estimated that Radon Gas kills 24,000 Americans each and every year. As a matter of fact, Radon Gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, only second to cigarette smoking.

The good news is that Radon Gas can be detected with a simple test and if the home you’re purchasing has elevated levels of Radon Gas, it can be easily fixed. The key to the issue is Getting A Radon Test.

Then you know if the problem exists and if so, to what degree.

Please know that I personally would not live in a home in Middle Tennessee that had not been tested for Radon Gas!

The way to know whether the home you’re buying has any of these issues or many other potential issues is to hire a professional home inspector. But…

How Do You Choose A Home Inspector?

The best way to find a good home inspector is to ask the right questions…

Many inspectors conducting home inspections in the Middle Tennessee area are brand new to the business. They’re offering low prices because they are desperately trying to get your business. And many home inspectors in this area are unlicensed, uninsured, or unqualified to inspect your home.

That’s just what you want to hear, more nerve-racking stuff.
