Home Inspection Client in Meridian Idaho Says Thank You

Mr. Strand – Thanks again for your help with the inspection of our new home!

As new home owners my wife and I had a lot of concerns about taking on such a big investment. Going through the detailed inspection with you gave both of us a lot more confidence in our choice of a new home. Additionally, we appreciated your detailed and clear explanations of existing issues with our home and your candid recommendations.

With your help we feel secure in our decision and vastly more prepared to handle any incidental repairs that will be needed prior to moving in.

Thank you so much!

Mold Found in Newer Home in Nampa Idaho

During a home inspection in Nampa Idaho mold was found throughout the crawl space of this 2006 Nampa Home. The crawl space has a sealed ventilation system, which are supposded to be energy effiecient. No crawl space vents are installed on home as traditional crawl spaces are. There is an exhaust fan installed on one end of crawl space and can vent out the side of crawl space or through a pipe out of the roof. With this an inlet air source is needed on the opposite side of crawl space. This allows air to move through the crawl space to vent. With this type of system you can fully seal and insulate the crawl space.

With this home the exhaust fan had gone bad or never worked. Obviously no one noticed the fan not working or didn’t know because it was not properly explained to them at the time of purchase. A few years of no ventilation in the crawl space has caused mold to grow on the under side of the sub-flooring.
