Veteran Home Inspections

When I wanted to find a home inspector I asked my Realtor who should I go with. My realtor picked some big company that I am sure you have all heard of. I called the big company and asked them how they would perform certain tests. For example, “How will you inspect my septic system?” Big company said, we’ll flush a dye down the toilet and see if it shows up outside. That didn’t sound very through too me, so I shopped around. I eventually found Mike, from Veteran Home Inspections and asked him the same questions, but this time I got answers that made sense. He said Veteran Home Inspections LLC will open up the septic tank and check the levels, find out where the drainage lines are, and make sure that everything is right. Hiring Mike was the best investment I have ever made. For four hours I followed him around like his shadow. Not only did he show me how everything in the home works, but he also taught me how to spot problems that were well hidden. Of course the purpose of an inspection is the report, and the report was easy to follow, well organized, detailed and had pictures. My only regret is that I didn’t have Mike inspect the house before I put in an offer, because I would have had the knowledge to see past the new granite kitchen counter tops, and hardwood floors and would have noticed the bad roof, faulty plumbing and failing systems. Mike didn’t just perform a home inspection for me; he made me an informed home buyer, taught me how to maintain the home from the foundation to the roof, and saved me thousands of dollars in repair bills I would have been responsible for had I purchased the house without an inspection.
