When Searching for a Utah Home Inspection
When considering a home inspector in the State of Utah, there are MANY VERY important things to take into consideration.

There are plenty of out-of-work contractors, plumbers, electricians, etc.. that will be glad to offer you their opinion of a home along with a punch-list inspection report for a very cheap … (1 comments)

Utah Home Inspections in the Early Spring Season
Most Utah citizens associate Spring time with melting snow, streams of water, and the sun's warmth returning life to all that was covered by snow.

Having an Infrared Home Inspection during the Utah Spring season can often save home buyers a fortune. Many Utah houses being sold had to survive the Winter all alone(un-occupied) with moisture constantly trying to find … (2 comments)

utah home inspector: The most common defect found during Ogden, Utah Home Inspections - 11/11/11 10:27 PM
 The most common defect found during Ogden, Utah Home Inspections
 
The lack of DOWNSPOUT EXTENSIONS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

Most home owners pay little attention to their downspouts. The majority of Ogden, Utah homes lack any form of downspout extensions at all which basically defeats the entire point of having gutters.
 
Many home owners assume that since they have new gutters or nice gutters that their downspout extensions are sufficient. Such assumptions are wrong. Downspout extensions aren't usually provided by the gutter installation company because anything past the lower 45 degree angle is considered landscaping.

The Utah Home Buyers How To Inspect Your Own Air Conditioning Unit Guide, by Power Check Infrared Home Inspections Lets face it, many folks are trying to get by with saving every dollar possible. As a home inspector, I reccommend people have their air conditioning units inspected before every summer season.

They say a painter never paints his own home, plumbers usually have a running toilet or leaking faucet, and a carpet cleaner usually has dirty carpet. I can definitely see how many these thoughts could be true.
