At the time of the inspection the house was vacant, and had been for nearly 12 months so there was not much the inspector had to look around aside from the structure. Immediately after moving in we have had issues with water in the basement and termites. The home inspection report showed no indication of water entering the basement however within 2 days of arrival I discovered a small puddle in a corner of the basement. Upon further inspection it appears this had happened before. The inspector did note that the sump pump discharge should be extended, which I have done. I've also extended all of the downspouts further from the house. This appears to have corrected the issue, but I would have expected the inspector to notice water had entered previously.
More importantly I am now looking for a termite treatment service as I discovered a mud tunnel in the the back sunroom. I called the inspector's office (6/16/14) and the owner, Mark, came out to investigate. Mark noted the tunnel and looked in the basement for any more activity...he found none. He stated that the tunnel was inactive and must have occurred after the inspection was performed. I spoke with my real estate agent, who arranged for another opinion from an external party. This inspector found 2 more mud tunnels on the back of the sun room that Mark had missed just 3 days before.
I've attempted to discuss this with Mark but he maintains that there was no indication of termites during the first inspection and wasn't interested in hearing about the 2 additional tunnels discovered following his visit. He states his inspection is valid only upon which the date the inspection is performed. During this call he was rude and confrontational and I felt I had maintained a high level of professionalism with him as a customer.

6/30/14 Update
Mark Pence, owner, asked to visit again to discuss the situation and to take another look at the damage. During this visit he offered a full refund of the inspections and was very professional. I appreciate that the gesture and I have updated my ratings as such.

"Mr. [member name removed], At the time of inspection the inspector performed a thorough inspection of the property and there was no visible evidence of subterranean termites to report. Almost 2 months later there is now visible evidence of subterranean termite activity. Our inspection is of the structure on the day of inspection (for example: if the inspector performs the termite inspection and there is no visible evidence of termites at that time and then the next day termites create shelter tube tunnels on the outside of the foundation the inspector could not be responsible for not seeing the termite activity after he had performed the inspection.) At some point in time termite activity or damage will become visible if present although according to the pictures that were taken at the time of inspection and the inspectors report there was no visible evidence at the time of inspection; Therefore our company cannot be responsible for predicting the future or for performing termite treatments as you are requesting our company to do for you well after the inspection took place. When you had called our office with your concern I quickly came out to your property to examine your concern that very day and it was determined that the termite activity was very recent. You never did state any complaint about water in the basement although it does stand to reason that if you allow water to collect around the foundation that you will have water in the foundation; this is why we made the recommendation to divert all water away from the foundation areas which is also known to attract termite activity. As far as the phone conversation you mentioned I remember you stating that you had a bad phone connection and that you were having trouble hearing and the phone call ended not shortly after that. I do not recall anyone speaking rudely or the conversation being heated at all. It is our company policy to provide premier inspections with premier service. We strive to have the highest level of customer satisfaction although we do realize that with some people that is not obtainable."

this is the second time I have used Premier Home inspection for a buyers inspection. the first house I had inspected we canceled the contract because of the inspection. Mark's inspection showed us the house was a death trap, not only saving us a bunch of money but the health of my family. The second home went quite alot better, Mark worked with me on scheduling. He even reworked his schedule several times for me. the inspection went very well and we became aware of things to not only get fixed before closing but also things to keep an eye on in the future. Mark was honest about all of his findings and provided me with a level of customer service that exceeded all of my expectations. I recommend them to everyone even thinking about a home. I just wish I could give them an A+++.

I had done an inspection with Premier a few months ago but the house ended up falling through. When it was time to get another inspection done, it was no question who I was going to call.



John did my previous inspection and I was really impressed with his services. I had forgotten John did the previous inspection and had a card with Mark's name on it, so I requested him. Either way, you cannot go wrong with one or the other. Both of them were great to work with and were very thorough. Since we had used them before they gave us a discount.



Mark was there early and had already inspected the roof and outside. Mark then went on to inspect the rest of the house. As mentioned, he was very thorough and was sure not to miss anything. He then took us around the house and pointed out his findings, pointed out things about the house that we were not familiar with and finally fielded any questions we had. After the inspection we had the full report within an hour or so!



I will use Premier Inspection Services for any future inspections and will definitely recommend them to anyone who will listen.



Thanks Mark!

The cost was very reasonable especially since I had him do the home inspection including my detached garage, which he found was leaning drastically, a termite inspection, and the radon test which he has certified Radon come out and do. The lady from certified Radon was absolutely wonderful as well. Overall I wish I had used Mark from the start and not bothered with the other inspector. He offered to put my appliances on a website where it updates he if there's any recalls which I thought was a cool extra that will give me value for years to come. This company get an A++ from me!

John was at the house early, so we didn't have to wait around and he promptly got to work. He did a very thorough inspection and pointed out things to us as he went. He was very open to answer any questions, offered suggestions to prevent and/or fix issues and made us feel very comfortable with the whole process as first-time home-buyers. He had our full report with in-depth descriptions and pictures of anything he came across to us that night. I would absolutely use this company/inspector again in any future inspections.

Mark arrived on time and did a very thorough job for our home inspection. After he was done, he spent some time going over what he found. The next day he sent a very detailed report including pictures covering every item. He did an excellent job.

Inspected 13 year old home we are going to buy. Was very professional and precise. Provided pictures of areas that required attention which really helped to show exactly what needed to be done. Also, the report was broken down in to what needed immediate attention, what needed to be fixed eventually and what needed to be watched. Very pleased with this service. Will recommend and use again.

I have worked with them twice. I had the same inspector Mark Pence. He is very good at what he both. He was both thorough and an educator. He not only told us what was wrong, but what needed to be done to fix. He saved us from making a very a bad decision, which would have been very expensive. He is a very knowledgeable inspector. he is the only I go to.
