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."

Locally owned & operated family business for over 45 years. Certified technicians. Emergency services 24/7. Full coordination with customer's insurance company.

"Terrible. My elderly mother called because she needed a drain installed in her front yard so she could have a driveway installed. When they got there they said they could do the drain and they could also put in the driveway. They said they could put in crushed concrete that will harden over time. She hired them. They came and spread pea gravel over the yard. Grass was still there growing through the gravel. She called and they came back and dug a little deeper and spread more gravel and told her it would harden. She has not been happy with it since and has been calling but they will not return her call. Now she is stuck in her home because they cannot plow her driveway. They will just plow up the gravel. It did not harden and will never harden they lied and took advantage of my elderly parents. My mom is my dad's caregiver, he has Alzheimer's so she has a lot on her plate and they took advantage of her. I live 4 hours away so I could not be there when they came."

Serving the Greater Ashland area of Michigan and Wisconsin. Specializing in basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, gutter installation, concrete lifting & leveling, attic insulation, foundation repair, & commercial foundation services. FREE estimates available.

"Worst workmanship I’ve ever seen. Basement still leaks, the system they installed does not drain water into the sump crock looks like water is now being diverted under the floor. Owner never came out to look at what his employees call a finished job. I was quoted by Dennis $56 a foot in the basement and when I got upstairs it was actually $59, red flag. I was quoted and designed a system and they installed another. Look at pics and you decide if you want to hire these hacks and liars. One other thing the workers mixed the Qiukrete next to my furnace that was running and the whole house was filled with concrete dust."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.

Keeping radon from getting into your home is much better than having to get rid of it once it's already indoors. While there may not be a way to fully prevent radon from getting into your home, there are things you can do to reduce the gas's ability to enter. 

Sealing foundation cracks and openings can help keep the gas from seeping inside. Improving air flow, such as by opening windows, can also be helpful. If you're building your home from scratch, talk to your contractor about using radon-resistant construction to keep the gas out.

You can buy DIY radon test kits from a home improvement store and conduct radon testing, but these tests are often inaccurate. No matter the result, you should supplement DIY testing with professional radon detection and analysis. DIYers only have access to passive radon tests, which aren’t as reliable as active tests that professionals use. Plus, it’s very easy for DIYers to make mistakes during testing, leading to inaccurate results. If you’re moving into a new home, have concerns about radon, or are due for an updated test, hire a professional. 

Since radon typically comes out of the soil, it is most commonly found in the lower levels of a home. In houses with basements, that's a common location for radon. Homes built directly on the ground may have radon on the ground floors. Radon can be found on the upper floors of the home, but often in lower concentrations than in lower levels.

To determine whether you have radon in your home, you must run a test. Radon gas has no odor or color, so you won’t notice a concentration of radon. You could purchase a DIY test at a local hardware store, but it may not deliver completely trustworthy results. The best way to test and receive accurate results is to hire a local radon detection specialist.
