CENTRAL BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICE

CBI performed my home inspection on the recommendation of my Realtor, and did a great job. Pat Foster really knows what he is doing, and gave me some really useful tips about caring for my home, and also helped prioritize which issues were important and expensive to fix. He sent the inspection report four hours after the inspection too! It was really detailed and helpful. I would hire him again.

HE GOT HERE EARLY ACTUALLY, ABOUT HALF HOUR EARLY. FIRST THING HE DID WAS GOT HIS LADDER AND WENT ON THE ROOF, SAID THE ROOF WAS FINE. HE CHECKED CHIMNEY, SAID IT WAS FINE. BUT IT WAS NOT, IT LEAKS. ALSO THERE ARE CRACK ROCKS IN THERE AND HE SAID JUST PUT A LITTLE SILICON IN THERE AND I HAD SOMEBODY COME IN AND CHECK IT OUT AND IT WAS GOING TO COST $350 TO FIX IT. AND I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS LEAKING UNTIL WE ALREADY MOVED IN. IT WAS JUST A DRIP, NOT POURING IN, BUT STILL NEEDS TO BE FIXED. HE WENT TO THE OUTSIDE WATER AND TURNED IT ON AND A HORRIBLE ODOR CAME OUT, AND HE SAID IT HAD BEEN WINTERIZED. IT TURNS OUT THAT WE STILL HAVE A HORRIBLE SMELL IN OUR WATER. ALSO HE WENT TO THE BASEMENT AND CHECKED FOR TERMITES AND THERE IS INSULATION THAT THEY HAD PUT IN LITTLE NOOKS BETWEEN FOUNDATION AND FLOOR. HE PULLED THAT AWAY TO LOOK FOR TERMITES AND PUT IT BACK AND LATER AFTER WE MOVED IN I NOTICED THAT THERE LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF MICE.
