home inspector panama city beach: Permanent Wood Foundations - 02/23/12 10:46 AM
While traditional basement walls are made from masonry materials such as concrete or stone, inspectors should be prepared to encounter permanent wood foundations (PWFs). When pressure-treated wood was developed in the 1960s, it became possible for wood to be used in foundation walls without being prohibitively vulnerable to damage from insects and moisture, and by the 1970s, PWFs gained acceptance. Some builders and manufacturers claim that wood foundations offer a number of advantages over masonry foundations, such as: Wood foundations are simpler, quicker and cheaper to construct than masonry foundations. On average, they will not, however, last as long … (0 comments)

A pool alarm is a safety feature designed to alert adults when unsupervised children enter a pool. There are a number of different designs available, but none is foolproof.

home inspector panama city beach: Cement Admixtures - 11/27/10 02:00 PM
Admixtures are ingredients other than water, aggregate and Portland cement that are added to a concrete mixture immediately prior to or during mixing. These ingredients can be used to modify the properties of concrete by affecting the cement's workability and set time, compensating for the effects of temperature during curing, ensuring the quality of the concrete during mixing, transport and placing, and even for adding pigment.
The use of cement admixtures is fairly standard for both residential and commercial builds. While admixtures provide benefits and solve problems when properly utilized, they may also contribute to defects if applied improperly. … (0 comments)

home inspector panama city beach: Ungrounded Electrical Receptacles - 11/11/10 08:40 PM
Grounding of electrical receptacles (which some laypeople refer to as outlets) is an important safety feature that has been required in new construction since 1962, as it minimizes the risk of electric shock and protects electrical equipment from damage. Modern, grounded 120-volt receptacles in the United States have a small, round ground slot centered below two vertical hot and neutral slots, and it provides an alternate path for electricity that may stray from an appliance. Older homes often have ungrounded, two-slot receptacles that are outdated and potentially dangerous. Homeowners sometimes attempt to perform the following dangerous modifications to ungrounded … (0 comments)

home inspector panama city beach: **Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems** - 10/27/10 05:39 PM
Geothermal systems are home heating and cooling systems that gather heat from the earth. Geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) use the relatively constant temperature of sub-surface soil as the exchange medium.
Geographical Distribution
As of 2004, five countries -- El Salvador, Kenya, the Phillipines, Iceland and Costa Rica -- generate more than 15% of their electricity from geothermal sources. In Iceland, geothermal energy is so cheap that some sections of pavement are heated. In the United States, roughly 50,000 geothermal heat pumps are installed every year. The U.S. leads the world in geothermal exploitation. The combined production of geothermal energy for all … (1 comments)
