Exterior inspection, elevated moisture wall damage. Call 734-664-5853 Innovative Home Inspection.

Exterior Wall Moisture Cause & Effect

   

The wall discoloration is not a just a simple stain, it’s a concern that needs to be corrected. The CAUSE of elevated moisture was due to improperly installed siding bottom hold J-Channel from above. The siding installer left a gap between the J-Channel runs which created a localized drain point that saturated the bricks wall area below. The home owner tried to fix the issue by caulking the gap. The EFFECT over time, the caulk failed and prolong drainage from the gap between the J-Channel caused repeated elevated moisture in this area which led to damage of the brick veneer. Failure to correct the issue resulted in several cracked bricks and deteriorated mortar joints. Further delays in repairs will be costly and may lead to a more serious issues such as underlining moistures damage to the structure. If you see discoloration like this on your brick veneer siding its time for service.

Chimney Inspection

In this photo the exposed portion of the clay chimney flue liner and masonry crown was deteriorated and needs to be replace to maintain a weather tight chimney.  Cracks in the flue liner and open gaps in the deteriorated crown allows water seepage into the interior chimney and flue liner which will cause further damage from freeze thaw cycle if not repaired.  To schedule your Home Inspection contact Innovative Home Inspection 734-664-5853.

New Home Warranty unexpected basement flooding Inspection Innovative Home Inspection Wayne MI

Surprise flooded basement!

 

Home owner was surprise at yesterdays 11 Month New Home Warranty Inspection in Cherry Hill Village. They were shocked to find out their basement was flooded since they were in the basement a few days ago and it was dry. The cause was a faulty sump pump but the real discovery was there was no floor drain installed in the flooded section and the drain in another section of the basement was capped. Capped or missing floor drains are a major defect. Contact me to find out more about the benefits of a new home warranty inspection.

Asbestos Testing view of vermiculite insulation Innovative Home Inspection Ypsilanti MI

Asbestos Vermiculite Insulation

 Vermiculite was used as loose fill attic insulation until the mid-80’s. It can be as small as rice like grains and large as inch long particles that are often shiny gray-brown to silver-gold color. The danger of vermiculite is it can be contaminated with asbestos mineral fibers that can become friable (airborne) and easily inhaled if disturbed. Not all vermiculite contains asbestos fibers, it can only be positively identified for asbestos with a special type of microscope. For your safety EPA advises testing all vermiculite insulation.  Contact me for testing if you suspect vermiculite insulation. Lean more to down load a free copy of EPA's Asbestos Guide.
