ogden: Another Way Utah Home Buyers are Benefiting From Utah Infrared Home Inspections - 07/22/11 11:12 AM
Sometimes an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure!   Roof leaks and moisture intrusions are among the top 4-5 concerns I see during Utah Home Inspections. Unfortunately most home owners wait until they see visual signs of moisture before trying to locate the cause. In many circumstances, like the one below, waiting for visual signs of moisture can become quite a mess.

ogden: Infrared Window & Home Inspections - 12/31/09 08:45 PM

A thermally insulated window can play a major role in preserving and preventing energy loss.
