Clatterbuck Home Inspections was created to provide home buyers and sellers with the information they need to protect their interests during a real estate transaction. Without a thorough home inspection performed by a qualified professional, neither the buyer nor the seller can really know what defects may exist in a home.

"I lived in Arizona where an inspection includes a drippy faucet or burned our light bulb so to be fair, I am not sure what requirements Virginia has. We were not here but sent our son-in-law to participate. Since we have been in, our pipes bang when the water is turned on. Our electric patio screen was ripped up the side. The plug unit behind the tv that was left is literally falling out of the wall and taking wall with it. One of the blinds that we will be changing anyway, was not screwed in and I tried to open it and the entire thing fell on me. I have a box of electrical wires in the closet in a box. The box cover was broken, lying on the floor and all the 30+ wires were hanging out to the floor. The only other thing I can recall and probably too cosmetic was each bath room had towel bats, none match and also falling out of the wall. They had obviously repainted and their was paint on everything, light fixtures, cabinets etc. These things would have been noted in a AZ inspection but as I said, maybe not required in VA."

When searching to find a plumber or HVAC repair company in the Charlottesville and Albemarle County, VA area, we want you to feel confident and comfortable. Our plumbers and HVAC technicians are professional, polite, and treat your home with the utmost care. Our licensed, and insured repair techs are experts in the areas of plumbing, air conditioning, and heating repair, including hot water heaters, sewer lines, backflow preventers, pipe leaks, drain clogs, air conditioning units, heating systems, heat pumps, air ducts, and exterior service lines. We are your solution for air conditioning, heating and plumbing service. From simple plumbing repairs to complex heat pump installations, our technicians provide exemplary plumbing and HVAC services to the Albemarle, Nelson, and Greene county areas. Call us today!

"I do not have words to describe the rudeness and unprofessionalism I experienced working with Solutions Mechanical & Plumbing. First, the plumber and his apprentice were completely rude and seemed disgruntled by the idea that they had to fix unforeseen (but common) issues with the toilet replacement. They made disparaging comments about our house, even after we told them it was a fix-up job inherited from a deceased parent. They arrived at our homes maskless despite the pandemic and pretended to not be sure if they had masks on hand to wear. It was only after offering them spare masks of our own that they reluctantly put on theirs. After arriving, they sat in our driveway having breakfast before getting to work. The apprentice repeatedly summoned us with commands and was on his phone throughout the process. He also may or may not have smeared gum on the bumper of our car on the way out. Finally, they accidentally broke an expensive glass shelf in our bathroom, took the shelf with them, and then attempted to replace it with a poorly shaped and uneven, very cheap shelf. They refused to replace it with an equivalent shelf. When we contacted the headquarters to complain about this behavior, they provided excuses for the apprentice and the plumber and treated us with absolute disdain and rudeness. They went as far as to claim that "they don't wear masks where they're from" - not sure where they could be from that isn't also legally required to wear masks during a global pandemic. I will never work with them again and I strongly advise you to seek help for your needs elsewhere."

Wells and Pumps questions, answered by experts

Well water can taste different depending on the underground water source it taps into. Some well water tastes slightly sweet, while some may have a slight odor or no taste at all. If you find that you don’t like the taste of well water, a simple drinking water filter can remove most taste and smell.

Most professionals recommend that a deep well pump shouldn’t run more than 10 hours consecutively before cycling off. Overworking the well pump beyond the recommended amount can prematurely wear out your pump and burn out the motor, which means replacing it more often than you otherwise should need to. Your well pump should also come with the manufacturer’s use and maintenance recommendations that are specific to the model.

With regular servicing, a well pump usually lasts between eight and 15 years. Variables include level of usage, frequency of servicing, and pump quality. You may also be able to hire a local well pump repair service to fix your pump rather than replace it. 

However, often the cost to fix significant problems is as much as or greater than replacing the damaged pump with a new one.

If you notice any changes to the water coming from your well, consider that a sign to get a well inspection. For example, if the water is foul-smelling, bad-tasting, cloudy, or discolored, you should call a pro. It’s also a good idea to schedule an inspection if you observe a loss of water pressure, broken equipment, loss of well capacity, or other unusual signs.

When testing the pressure of your well tank, the psi should be two below the cut-on pressure. For example, if your tank is set to 40/60, then your pressure should be at 38 psi.
