Whether you're a buyer, a seller, or a current homeowner, a quality home inspection gives you a critical snapshot of a home's condition. A professional inspection will help buyers understand the current condition of the home they are about to purchase and sellers determine what to upgrade or repair prior to listing. Longtime homeowners should consider an inspection every 10 years or so to keep on top of potential problems and ongoing maintenance. Dogwood Home Inspection Services will perform a detailed non-invasive inspection of the home's structure, exterior, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning, interior, ventilation, appliances and fireplaces. From this inspection, we'll generate a comprehensive report with photos, and carefully review our findings with you. We want to be sure you clearly understand where either minor or major repairs or upgrades are required or recommended, and ensure that you know what will be required to maintain the systems we inspect.

"I personally would not recommend Altamont Inspections to anyone. November 2020 Eddy performed an inspection on my home before purchasing. The home has oil heat with an oil furnace in the basement. While he was thorough in some areas, he neglected to include information about the condition of the furnace or any pictures of it in his inspection report, only a picture of him pointing a temperature gun at a vent stating the heat worked/manufacture date. However, after moving into the home January 3rd, 2021, I began to hear strange noises from the furnace. An HVAC tech came out to inform me life-threatening levels of Carbon Monoxide were being released into my home due to the furnaces malfunction. I had been living there for only a few days...I was informed by the tech that "based on the furnace appearance and condition it is clear that it has not been properly maintained"....If Eddy had included pictures of the furnace in the original report and adequately inspected the appearance of it and informed me, I may have had a chance to negotiate with the seller or choose to further inspect the furnace before purchasing the home. Instead, I was unaware of the conditions of a furnace that could have cost my life and now is costing me thousands of dollars to replace."

For more than 60 years, ’58 Foundations & Waterproofing has provided the highest-quality basement waterproofing, crawlspace encapsulation, radon mitigation, mold removal and foundation repair solutions for homes and commercial properties. We lead with a promise of Trusted Five-Star Service, which means the customer experience is at the center of everything we do. Since 1958, we have been steadfast in keeping this promise and in upholding the values on which '58 Foundations was built: trust, teamwork, integrity, respect and communication. This comes across in all that we do: from the initial call to job completion, our customers are met with a knowledgeable, caring, and professional staff prepared to offer a five-star experience that is unmatched in the home repair industry.

"I had a very unfortunate experience with a misleading sales rep. In December 2022, a sales rep named Ryan came out to my house to show me my options. He suggested that we have a perimeter trench dug around the basement with a well and sump pump. He went over the options with me and told me about the amazing sump pumps that 58 Foundations & Waterproofing has...they are battery back-up in case of a power outage. I was excited about that because it gave me peace of mind. Let me be clear when I say that there was only a SINGLE option presented when it came to the type of sump pump they provided. Ryan gave me the option of a battery back-up and no other options. The install crew comes out, does a fantastic job, and gets it all done in a timely manner. 5 months passes and we have some bad storms rolling in. I wanted to be sure that the sump pump battery was still good, so I open the lid of the well to check on the battery, only to find out that we have a pump without a battery back-up, like I was told by my sales rep we would have. I reach out to the company to see if the battery is hidden inside the pump. After 24 hours, I still haven't heard back from the company, so I reach out to the sales rep directly. He tells me that I didn't purchase the battery back-up pump and that he would be happy to sell me one for an additional $1,500 (I am sure he would be happy to sell me one). I contacted the company to see what resolution we could arrive at. I have basically been told at this point that I did not purchase one even though the sales rep told me I was getting a battery back-up pump. A battery back-up was VERY important to me. The SC manager for 58 Foundations & Waterproofing called me today and offered to sell me one. But I cannot bring myself to pay for something that I was told would be included. She told me that the invoice does not show a line item for the battery back-up and that the invoice only lists "sump pump". But, how was I supposed to know that "sump pump" didn't mean the battery back-up pump that the sales rep told me would be included? How was I supposed to know that there would be a separate line item for "battery"? They have relied on the ignorance of their customers to take advantage. Everyone who gets one of these systems, make sure that you actually get what your sales rep told you...because I did not. And at the end of the day, of course the company has blamed me for the miscommunication. The SC manager told me that there was just a miscommunication and that she was sorry that I did not understand what I was purchasing. In reality, the reason that I did not understand is because I was misled. Until this issue is fixed and a battery back-up is installed free of charge, I will continue fighting this issue."

We are a restoration contractor who specializes in water mitigation, contents cleaning, and structural repairs after a water or fire loss. We pride our organization on customer service during and after a loss. We try to walk you thru an insurance loss step by step as most people only have one in their life. We are a franchise organization that is independently owned and this office serves 6 counties.

"Paul Davis Restoration was recommended by our insurance company when we sustained damage to our porch from a fallen tree in March. The man who came out to inspect it assured us that the estimate would be uploaded to our insurance by that Wednesday. Wednesday came and went...no estimate. I called the Asheville office, where an employee told me that the report had to go through a "third party to be approved" before it could be submitted to State Farm. 'Mike' hadn't explained any of this to us. This woman assured me that it should be submitted no later than "next Wednesday." Yet another week passes...no estimate. I called the office again, where I was told that I needed to contact 'Mike' for any information. I did just that, and he claimed that he was not in the office, and that he would have to check on it when he got there. Another 24 hours passes without a phone call. When I called him again, he casually mentioned that this mysterious "third party" had sent his report back to him for a couple of corrections, and that it should uploaded to our insurance by (you guessed it) no later than that next Wednesday. ('Mike's customer service skills certainly left something to be desired.) Once more, nothing. The next time that I called, I asked to speak with someone in charge. I was given the name of the owner, 'Sharon.' The first couple of interactions with her were positive, and she seemed very helpful. Yet, once again, this "third party" was blamed for the significant delays in sending our estimate to State Farm. After a couple of communications back and forth, my husband and I were extremely frustrated by ANY lack of progress. I finally texted Sharon and asked her to send our estimate directly to us. She informed that 48 hours after the estimate was finalized, that they were 'allowed' to give it to us, and she would email it to me in the morning. Next day? Nothing. Once again, I had to text her and ask that it be sent to me. Sharon claimed that she thought she had sent it, but would send it again. And, since I'm writing this review, you can guess what happened...NOTHING. We NEVER received a copy of our estimate. I called State Farm, where one of the agents handling our claim said that they had finally received it, but that he doubted they would pay out the total amount for the work, because it looked as if the estimate given was excessive. Needless to say, it is over a MONTH later, we still have a severely damaged, unstable porch, and are looking for another contractor/restoration company. I have since heard from reliable sources that my husband and I are not the only ones who have had bad experiences with this particular office. Delay, excuses, confusion, and lack of meaningful customer service were the only things that we took away from our encounter with Paul Davis Restoration of Greater Asheville."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Installing a mitigation system reduces radon levels, which can cause lung cancer, providing peace of mind and long-term health benefits. It can also increase your home’s value, as many buyers prefer properties with radon safety measures in place. The investment is relatively low compared to the potential health risks associated with prolonged radon exposure.

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. 

Long-term exposure increases lung cancer risks. Prolonged homestay individuals and smokers encounter heightened vulnerability and exposure concerns.

There are steps you can take as a homeowner to remediate radon yourself. While a radon reduction professional can make the biggest impact in your home, you can make efforts to improve radon levels on your own by sealing cracks, increasing ventilation, and testing for radon regularly.
