Failing Brick Entryway

Nothing says “insurance claim” like bricks that could fall onto your head at any moment.

Fire Hazards

If your fireplace requires a certain amount of clearance, and is clearly marked as such, you should definitely not build a storage closet around it and keep highly flammable items there. And your dryer vent shouldn’t be emptying into your attic.

HVAC Issues

When installing HVAC systems, there should be enough fire clearance around the system, and it should be easily accessible-unlike the one covered in foam. If you want your HVAC system to operate at its full capacity, make sure to check the levels to prevent the unit from icing.

Plumbing Mishaps

Improperly installed plumbing can cause a world of problems for any homeowner. Here are a few examples of handyman and installation shortcuts that are just wrong.

Roof Coverings

Ever wonder what your roof looks like? We take roof inspections very seriously. Here are some examples of what we’ve seen and report.
