"This company does not have a solid understanding of the Generac generators they install. I had the owner out last week to repair ours that is less than 3 years old. He left saying all was good, and on the following Saturday it failed to start for it’s weekly exercise run just as it had before he “repaired” it. Same exact error code. Ask him about Generac’s MobileLink app and he doesn’t have a clue. When I told him it failed again he said that maybe his battery tester was bad and that batteries are not included under the warranty. He said I should buy a new battery. I did, for $190, and it did not solve the problem. When I asked about their covering the cost of the battery, he asked “why should I?”. Steer clear!"

Patrick Michael Lyons is an ASHI Inspector who has met the rigorous requirements to be a provider of The ASHI Experience, a professional home inspection that combines the highest technical skills with superior customer service. Use the contact information form below or call the home inspector directly to ask questions and schedule your home inspection. Additional website: www.annarborhomeinspector.com.

"I am speaking from the seller’s perspective after having an inspection done on a house I was selling, and Patrick did the inspection. Thoroughness is definitely laudable. However, this inspector went to the point of questioning the color choices of the owner. Within his report he wrote “ Find out who picked the colors on the walls.”. If this had a negative affect on the value of the house, this might be reasonable. For example, if every room was painted black. However, it seems unprofessional and outside the scope of a home inspection to be making comments on the color palette of a home. Additionally, spot radon testing was done by this inspector. He even notes in his report that this is not what the EPA recommends to determine if mitigation is necessary. This puts both the buyer and seller in a difficult situation. The seller and now has a report that indicates that there could be a problem with radon and is forced to act on it. The buyer, additionally, either hast to spend , more money to have a proper radon survey done or has to request medication without good evidence. This inspectors time would be well served doing a EPA approved, radon evaluation on a house and keeping his interior design expertise to himself."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The depth of a septic tank’s drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn’t shift much. 

The efficacy of a drain field depends on a wide variety of factors, though a well-maintained one can last as long as 40 or 50 years. Of the different types of septic tanks on the market, concrete and plastic tanks tend to last the longest—upwards of 40 years if they’re pumped regularly—while steel tanks have a tendency to rust over time and may need to be replaced after 15 or 20 years.

There should be a red button or an on/off switch on or in your box. Press the button or flip the switch, then turn it back on by doing the same action again. If this doesn’t work, reset the breakers inside the box by flipping them off and back on again. After this, your alarm should stay off if there’s nothing wrong with your system. However, if the alarm is still sounding and there’s still a red light on, it’s time to call a pro for a diagnosis.

Consider site conditions, soil type, required capacity, and system designs compatible with environmental protection regulations.

Yes, a septic tank can get full. If this happens, you might run into issues flushing your toilets or draining your sinks. You may also notice your pipes making gurgling noises or the smell of sewage floating around your house. Other signs of a backed-up septic tank include water pooling or fresh, healthy grass growing above your drain field.
