"Elon inspected my foundation to determine what walls were holding water. He took measurements and took time to share a video of the repair he was recommending. I will have four anchors installed on the problem wall at a very fair price."

"I had questions about the foundation and structure of a home I was considering buying. Steve was able to quickly get me a time slot scheduled to do the inspection. While doing the walkthrough, he was very porfessional and kept a good, open dialogue about what he noticed as concerns and things that were positive. He did a great job of assessing and inspecting all of the areas I had a concern with and made sure to point out and make me aware of the things that I wasn't aware of. Between addressing concerns, he was able to give insight about how the issues should best be repaired. I would and will happily contact Steve again for future structural and inspection issues."

"This was a rehire of All-Ways. After having other quotes for our leaky basement, we again found that All-Ways was honest and more reasonably priced. They don't try to scare you into doing unnecessary repairs. Workers were friendly and respectful of our time and our home. Additionally, job required less work than initially thought and they actually lowered our end cost instead of trying to talk us into doing the higher unnecessary repair. In-house financing was provided with half due at completion and the other half a year to pay. I cannot say enough good things about James, Eric, and the rest of the workers. I hope I don't have more basement problems, but if I do, I'll definitely be calling them again. Thanks, guys!"

"The workers were very professional. They were here on time and worked diligently. There was a misunderstanding on some areas to do and they returned to do the extra areas. I would highly recommend this company."

"My previous review of the company was absolutely inaccurate. I got my mold test back from the Senior Mold Analyst, which I found out those credentials don't even exist from a reputable company in my area. He said that the mold in my house was toxic mold and was harmful to my children and my family, which of course had me in tears because I didn't know what I was exposing my family to. He transferred me to BioSide labs where I talked to a guy named Steve. He told me about all of these chemicals that I needed to buy in order to remediate my entire home to the tune of $1500. He said he was giving me his discount and was giving me free shipping and no sales tax, otherwise it would have been over $2000 for this stuff. We didn't use their material, we rented a fogger from Home Depot and spent about $300 on the same stuff. We remediated and a couple of weeks later my dad comes in my house telling me it smells like mold again. I called a reputable company in my area, who does all the water/mold remediation for our major healthcare system. I sent him a copy of my mold report from The Mold Test Company. Explained to him a little bit about what was going on and what MTC told me. He came to my house for FREE to check out the situation. He printed off a copy of the;mold report that was sent to me. Basically out of the 19 page cookie cutter report 2 pages are specific to my house. The rest of the report goes on about how hazardous the mold is in my house and lawsuits that have been filed. The man from the company that came to my house today said there is no active mold in my house and there is definitely no active toxic mold that could be harmful to my children or my husband and I. There could be some water coming in behind a wall because there is no gutter on the roof so when it rains its all going to the foundation of my house. Its an easy fix, rip out the wall, patch up whatever could be causing the source of the water and replace the drywall with a mold proof drywall. I am IRRITATED beyond belief. These people saw me coming a million miles away. All they had to say was toxic mold & children &and harmful and they had me hook, line and sinker...Thankfully my husband has a more level head and didn'tt spend the money. DO NOT use Mold Test Company...find a company that is local to you that has a good reputation. This place is going to scam you! I called and spoke to Reid who was more than helpful and forthcoming with pricing and what was included in the price. They sent out Devin who was awesome! He came in my home and was some personable it was like we had been friends for years. While he was waiting for certain tests to be completed he and my husband talked sports, we talked about our kids. He played with my son all the while being very professional. I was very impressed with his knowledge and experience and his ability to put me at ease about the possibility of having a mold issue somewhere in my home. The Mold Test Company MI is lucky to have an employee like Devin and Reid!"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Repiping a house is a worthy investment in several scenarios. Key indicators that it's time to repipe include having pipes that are over 50 years old, experiencing frequent leaks and repairs, or noticing signs of corrosion and low water quality. It is especially important to replace pipes made from certain materials; lead pipes can cause serious health issues, galvanized steel can lead to rusty water, and polybutylene pipes can leach chemicals into your water supply.

Investing in new plumbing can prevent costly problems like water damage and mold growth. New pipes can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years, saving you money on future repairs and high water bills. Repiping can also increase your home's overall value and improve efficiency, for example, by using PEX pipes for lines that don't carry hot water. The cost to repipe a house typically ranges from $1,500 to $15,000.

You can guarantee that you hire a professional home inspector by reviewing their qualifications, years of experience, customer reviews, and certifications before hiring. If you’re working with a realtor, they can recommend at least one trusted professional home inspector. You can always confirm the credentials of a home inspector by checking for affiliations with organizations like the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors or the American Society of Home Inspectors. 

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.

  • Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion

  • Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.

  • Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.

  • Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.

A gas log fireplace should be inspected and serviced as needed once a year. Preventative maintenance can help keep your fireplace in working condition and save money in the long run by avoiding more costly repairs on parts that could have been fixed sooner with a regular inspection.

Crawl spaces are prone to issues caused by excess humidity and improper ventilation, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid buying a house with a crawl space. A home that is encapsulated and well-maintained shouldn’t have any more issues than a slab or basement home.
