"I am absolutely thrilled with the service provided by CERI for the mold remediation in my home. Finding mold in our home felt like an absolute nightmare, and I was so grateful I found this team. From my very first phone call, the entire process was seamless. The initial inspection was incredibly thorough, and they patiently walked me through the entire remediation plan, addressing all my concerns with professionalism and expertise. There were no scare tactics, just honest evaluation and clear communication. When the crew, led by Scott and Travis, arrived, they were punctual, courteous, and ready to work. They took meticulous safety measures to contain the spores and protect the rest of my family and home. I was impressed by their attention to detail; they even showed me pictures of the progress daily and ensured the work areas were spotless after completion. The results are truly remarkable. A year later, the affected areas are still mold-free, and the air quality is great now."

"Josh and Kyle came out to inspect a leak in my roof. They were very honest with me and looked through my old contract from the past company who did the roof and told me that it was still under warranty. They found the issue, didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need and pointed me in the right direction! Would highly recommend them for their honesty and professionalism!"

"From the salesperson to the crew that did the work I had an amazing experience. The salesperson was willing to work with me on price and availability. The crew went above and beyond to clean my gutters and left the area cleaner than when they found it."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field’s location.

A pass/fail home inspection is a type of inspection that a buyer pays for with the understanding that the results will not allow for renegotiation. It’s most common in situations where the buyer waives a home inspection contingency to get their offer accepted when there’s a lot of competition for the home. The buyer will accept the house as-is without requesting repairs or renovations to fix potential issues, or they will consider the inspection a fail and will back out of the deal, losing out on the cost of the home inspection.

Besides reptile sightings, look for droppings resembling small pellets. Shed skin left behind during growth is another clue. Unusual chirping or rustling sounds could also suggest an infestation. If unsure, consulting a professional can provide accurate identification and effective solutions for managing the situation. If proper pest prevention measures aren't taken, a lizard can live up to five years. And that's a long time to have an undesirable roommate.
