"Davon from NextDay Inspect did a very thorough inspection of the home. The day of Davon explained what to expect during the inspection, providing us a verbal summary as he completed review of each section of the home. The report he completed was detailed reiterating the issues he came across noting the risk to the home and health. The report also linked to clear photos of the issues."

"Chris is an amazing inspector - thorough, friendly, knowledgeable. He even pointed out recommendations for how to maintain items around the house. He also performed a septic inspection and he has top quality tools to perform that too. He was even able to locate the septic access points without any plans. This is the guy you want to inspect the biggest purchase of your life!"

"I called this company after seeing their deal and high ratings on Angie's list. They were able to come out the next business day and take care of my dryer vent. The lady I spoke with at the office was incredibly nice and helpful. She answered all my questions and got me scheduled quickly. She called the day of my visit and asked if they could move my appointment up due to some schedule changes, which was fine. The tech was about 10 minutes early, but didn't give me a hard time for not being home just yet; my window was at 2pm and I got home at about 1:55pm. He had started inspecting the exterior of the dryer vent while waiting for me and let me know there were no birds nests or obvious obstructions. After taking a look inside, he got to work and about 30-40 minutes later, my dryer vent was clean and my dryer has been working great since. Once he finished cleaning, he showed me some pictures of the dryer vent and how bad it was. Having recently moved from CA, he also let me know that you do not pay tax for labor in the state of VA and that fall was the optimal time to get dryer vents cleaned because the chances of birds creating nests right after you get your vent cleaned out is pretty low."

"I was beyond impressed and pleased with the service that Josh Meloney provided. He was extremely thorough and detailed in the inspection of my home. He was also very helpful in answering some questions that I had regarding certain areas of my home. Josh was also very prompt in sending over the report on the same day as my inspections. The format of the report was highly detailed and easy to follow, including pictures of the areas he inspected. I would highly recommend Josh Meloney and JA Inspection Services to anyone. His level of professionalism and expertise were exceptional and he was a pleasure to work with."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Consider an annual inspection conducted by a local plumber to prevent dangerous and destructive leaks. If you recently moved into an older home or are concerned about the age of your gas lines, call an inspector for a closer look. You may also be required to call an inspector after your contractor installs a new line for an appliance.

Asbestos can be found in many building materials, especially if the materials were installed more than 20 years ago. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) can include:

  • Acoustic ceiling tiles

  • Furnace insulation

  • Home appliances

  • Fire-retardant clothing

  • Cement pipe

  • Pipe insulation

  • Wall and ceiling insulation

  • Vehicle brake pads

  • Vinyl flooring

  • Sprayed acoustic ceilings

  • Stove insulation

  • Patching compounds

  • Textured paints

  • Roofing shingles

  • Siding

It can be safe to live in a house with asbestos as long as the asbestos-containing materials are intact, in good condition, and not disturbed. Asbestos becomes dangerous only when its fibers are released into the air, which happens if the material is damaged, crumbling, or disturbed during renovation work. If you suspect asbestos is present, do not disturb it. Instead of removal, materials in good condition can sometimes be encapsulated. It is recommended to have regular professional inspections to monitor the condition of the asbestos and prevent health risks from potential exposure.

Having cobwebs in your home indicates you may have an issue with spiders entering your property. While spiders are mostly harmless, some venomous bites can cause human problems, such as a brown recluse or black widow. Regular vacuuming and dusting, keeping clutter to a minimum, and keeping your lawn trimmed and tidy are a few natural ways to keep spiders out of your home and remove the temptations that attract spiders.

Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.
