Hello to everyone . Where is summer ? I don't know. My kids would like to go swimming some time this year! It has bee so chilly there have been a few inspections where I could not test the A/C units because it has been below 65 degrees here in the Chicago area. Very rainy one good thing about that it shows how a house will perform in wet conditions that is for sure. The cool temps make it a lo easier to inspect those attics! I had a call last week from a man saying his grandmother has bee getting water in her basement and wanted me to come by just to get anpther opinion. I went by here house did not see all that much water but I did see some bad repairs and ineffective remedies by someone who did not know anything about water infiltration or basement foundations. I felt sorry for the woman she had paid some guy $ 10000.00 to put a couple sidewalks by the house and he said that would stop the water ! The house had terrible grading even from the road! I suggested to her that she should call her local officials to see who was responsible for what ! I also told thta she should have someone who only works on foundations look at her problem. I felt so sorry for her that this person had probably just taken her money! She wanted to pay me for my time but I declined. I felt she needed a break. I will talk to you later
