Boise Home Inspection Client Says Great Experience

My home inspection experience with Davin Strand of Boise was very pleasant, stress free, and very informative. He was very polite, and professional in every way, and went above and beyond to accomplish his work.

He was very punctual, (arrived early) and made every minute count from the moment he pulled up at the curb.

The Property Report Binder is priceless! It’s so great to have colored pictures with explanations, and advice in such detail!

I’ll have it for as long as I own my home, to use as a reference, and proof of the condition of the home at time of purchase, and that the recommended repairs were done, and can pass it on to the new home owner, should I sell it.

My son recommended him to me, because he was so impressed when Davin did his home inspection. I was very impressed.

I will certainly recommend him to others!

Thank you!!

On this Nampa Idaho home inspection improper venting of the furnace and water heater was noted. No 45 degree elbow was installed when the line bent and tape was installed to seal the area. Over time this was damaged and exhaust gas is venting into the attic.

New Life To Leftover Paint

July 14, 2010 by Boise_HomeInspector  
Filed under Maintenance & Home Safety

Boise home inspector says give new life to leftover paint.

What should you do with leftover paint once your painting projects are completed? That’s the question thousands of home owners ask each year. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that about 10% of the house paints purchased in the United States each year… about 65 to 69 million gallons is ultimately discarded.

Leftover household paint is a concern to communities throughout the country because of its high volume in the wast stream, resulting waste management costs, and potential for reduction, recovery, reuse and recycling. Leftover paint can also contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fungicides and, in the case of very old paint, significant quantities of hazardous metals such as lead and mercury.

If you want to keep the paint for future touch-ups, cover the opening with plastic wrap and then make sure the lid fits securely so the paint doesn’t leak. Then store the paint can upside down. This will create a tight seal around the lid and keep the paint fresh longer. You may want to keep inside some sort of containment in case of some spillage.

What to do with unwanted Paint:

Consider donating the paint for reuse. Many organizations will accept paint that’s in good condition (defined as uncontaminated paint still with a smoth consistency). The paint must be donated in a leabeled container. You can check for donation options by contacting charitable organizations in your area. Your local high school or community theatre group may accept paint donations as well.

Recycle… Water-based, or latex, paint can be recycled into new paint or used to create other products. Each municipality has different requirements, depending on wheather the paint is oil-based or water-based. You can check with your local environmental agency and also visit www.earth911.com for recycling options.

Leaking Tile Shower Found by Meridian Home Inspector

On a very nice home in Meridian Idaho, the inspector found the shower to be leaking under the tile. This is a very nice upscale home. The shower pan is likely bad and the tile would need to be pulled up and the shower re-sealed. This can be a costly repair.
