"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

Adding a thin layer of dirt over a septic drain field is fine, especially if soil erosion has occurred. However, adding too much dirt can compact the soil, reducing the drain field’s ability to absorb and filter wastewater properly. Avoid using heavy clay soil, as it can prevent proper drainage. Instead, use a light layer of topsoil and plant grass to help with soil stability.

A mound septic system, when properly maintained, can last between 20 and 25 years on average—though some last longer or malfunction sooner than that. The most important part of maintenance is getting an annual inspection of the vital parts of the system to ensure they’re in proper working order and not too backed up with sewage.

Septic leach lines are buried between 18 and 36 inches into the ground and are at least 6 inches under its surface. Keeping leach lines buried helps minimize odors, and it helps the system utilize bacteria and biological processes both underground and from the air to further treat and filter the wastewater.

The dimensions of a 500-gallon concrete septic tank can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the tank is large enough to handle the wastewater of a small home with up to one bedroom. Keep in mind that some states have a minimum septic tank size, and this often starts at 750 gallons. A 500-gallon septic tank may be too small to meet local regulations.

The average three to four-bedroom home uses a well pump of 8 to 12 GPM. It’s recommended to calculate your own GPM based on the number of water fixtures in your home so you can find the pump size that’s most accurate to your needs.
