|More!| More reasons to use drones for home inspections. 1. Detecting Chimney defects not visible from the ground. 2. Issues with Slate Shingles not visible from the ground. 3. Cannot walk this slate roof to get a view like this.... 4. I can see all this from across the street. Without the drone these items may have been missed. Do MORE for your clients! Expect MORE from yourself. #betterdecisionsthroughbetterinformation #professionalpropertyinspections #mikethehomeinspector #defectrecognitionspecialist #drone #drones #droneinspections #roof #slateroof #roofinspections #chimneys #chimneyinspection #viewfromabove #homeinspection #homeinspector #cnytophomeinspector #newyork #domore #expectmore #more #thoroughismymiddlename #jk #buyingandsellinghomes #firstimehomebuyer #foreverhome #notapuppet

|"Mike, will all this stuff be in the report, or should I be writing things down?"| "Oh don't you worry, it will be in there and then some." Here is a screen shot from a portion of a summary page from last week. Remember, it is not a home inspector's job to say who should make the repairs or improvements, just to identify potential safety issues or defects - and in the case of my reports, an extreme emphasis on potential safety issues.... Take a close look at some of these items and think about your own home and safety (#freeinfo). If you have any questions identifying what the items are, just reach out. It's no problem. That is why I am here. Needless to say, my potential buyers were extremely grateful to have gained this information prior to moving their family into this home. Call me, I can help you too! #callme #help #safe #safety #safetyfirst #homesafety #knowledge #home #knowledgeispower #themoreyouknow #buyingandselling #buyingandsellinghomes #welcomehome #foreverhome #firstimehomebuyer #homeinspection #homeinspector #mikethehomeinspector #newyorkhomeinspector #cnytophomeinspector #googlereviews #referrals #betterdecisionsthroughbetterinformation #professionalpropertyinspections #defectrecognitionspecialist #igotyourback #countonme #protect #family

|Problems with Galvanized Pipes| Galvanized pipes are steel pipes that have been dipped in a protective zinc coating to prevent corrosion and rust. Galvanized piping was commonly installed in homes built before 1960. When it was invented, galvanized pipe was an alternative to lead pipe for water supply lines. Today, however, we have learned that decades of exposure to water will cause galvanized pipes to corrode and rust on the inside. - If you can’t tell by looking at your p...ipes, there is a quick test to tell if they are galvanized. Simply grab a flat head screwdriver and a strong magnet. Start by finding your water line and scratch the outside of the pipe with the screwdriver. - Problems galvanized pipes can cause include: Low water pressure - Due to the restriction of the line, corrosion in galvanized pipes can cause lower water pressure throughout your home. Uneven distribution of water - If some of your taps have low water pressure, but others don’t, this could be a symptom of galvanized pipes. Corrosion can build up unevenly. Also, part of the galvanized pipe line could have been replaced in your home, but not everywhere. Discoloration of water - Galvanized pipes can release iron and cause discoloration. A clear indicator of this is a brown stain on a porcelain sink. Leaks - Given enough time, galvanized pipes will rust through and cause more damage to your home. - Check your pipes, and, as always feel free to reach out anytime with any questions regarding the home inspection process or radon testing. - I care about your best interests! #water #waterpipe #galavanized #homeinspection #homeinspector #yourhomeinspector #newyork #newyorkhomeinspector #buildinginspections #buyingandselling #buyingandsellinghomes #investment #inspectionsdoneright #welcomehome #foreverhome #firstimehomebuyer #realestate #betterdecisionsthroughbetterinformation #mikethehomeinspector #professionalpropertyinspections #defectrecognitionspecialist #themoreyouknow #youcancountonme
