Description of Work: Greg arrived on time per our arrangement. He spoke to us about what he would be doing, and what wasn't included. He went about his inspection with thoroughness and whenever he needed to point out anything he would tell us. He took about 2 1/2 hours to finish the inspection, and then went over it with us, pointing out anything that needed immediate attention. He finished his inspection at about 2pm, and we had a very detailed report (54 pages) by 8am the next day via email that included photos he had taken during the inspection. Greg was very friendly and personable, and we felt quite confident in his assessment. We would highly recommend him to anybody considering a home inspection.

We started early AM and he started with the attic. He then went through the entire house room by room and pointed everything out to me that I would need to know. After going through the inside we walked the entire outside of the house. Again he explained everything about the house and made sure I understood. Finally he went on the roof and checked everything out. All in all it was a great experience.
Description of Work: Greg was great. He was thorough and explained everything he did. He made sure I understood everything about the property and answered any questions I had

Description of Work: Greg and his assistant installed a Sub-Slab Depressurization Radon Mitigation System the steps of which are fully described in other reports.

Greg and his associate are very knowledgeable and help. They seem to have a very good grasp of home building, inspection and problem reductions. We could not have been more pleased. I recommend him highly.
Description of Work: Greg Peterson showed up promptly, studied the house and situation thoroughly, explained how the company would address the problem and left a final radon measurement kit to insure the levels were what we had tested. He sent a very professional proposal which we accepted. Scheduling installation was easy and they worked with our calendar. He and an associate showed up on-time, were very professional and mindful of keeping the installation clean. They put work cloths down everywhere they were. They worked thoroughly and quickly with no "goof off" time. Their installation was very unobtrusive and well done. We could not even tell they had been at our home other than the tubing for the mitigation. A final professional radon tracking was conducted and we were presented an hour by hour reading of radon. The reduction was quite dramatic and pleasing.

Greg was VERY brave to enter the attic through such a tiny entry space! He gave exceptional service in evaluating the current status of the structure, identified the most pressing concerns and identified some problems we were unaware of.
Description of Work: Greg thoroughly inspected our 100+ year old family home in Henderson County, NC. He entered the attic and crawl space to evaluate the home from chimney top to the pier foundation laid by my great-grandfather.

Thanks, We are glad you had your new home inspected prior to closing. There are so many details in a new home, we agree with you that it is prudent to have an independent inspection. We always guarantee that our clients will find our services to be a good value or we will refund your money.

Greg-the owner-showed up on time and ready to work. He had already met the home owner and was getting the big picture information. When we arrived he was ready to start. He said he worked from the "outside-in" ... so he grabbed ladders off his truck and started with the roof and exterior. His inspection was very detailed and he pointed out items to me along the way. As with most inspectors today, he used digital photography to capture items for his report. Greg even stayed after a bit to explain some things. After the final report came to me via email...I was able to call Greg and walk through the various items in great detail over the phone. It's clear that Meridian Home Inspection knows the business.
Description of Work: Full home inspection including radon testing for a home we were purchasing.

I called Greg after looking at his website. He answered, we talked, he told me it would be him doing the work on the inspection on and old house that I was buying. He made room in his schedule to come out the next day since I was in a hurry. Showed up early and got right to work. I wondered around with him for 4 hours while he did the inspection. He went everywhere, attic (yuck) basement , (really yuck) and took pictures, showed me things and left promising me the report online in my email with a web link the next day. I got it the next day, 55 pages with pictures, recommendations on repair, and an idea of the severity of the repair, which was really helpful. I emailed him with some questions and he got right back to me. Loved him. You couldn't do any better on a house inspection!!
Description of Work: Best service provider I have found in Asheville so far. Professional, knowledgeable, pleasant, easy to understand. Took more time to explain things to me than he probably wanted to but, was very patient and thorough. The report was very extensive, done right away, available on the web for the seller and myself to view within one day after the inspection. ALL my dealings with Greg were so wonderful. He volunteered that I could email him or call him, which I did and he got back to me right away via email. I recommend him without hesitation.

DEAR MEMBER, THANKS FOR YOUR VERY POSITIVE REPORT. IT WAS REALLY A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH YOU AND FOR YOU! IN ORDER TO PROVIDE HOME INSPECTION CLIENTS THE TIME AND ATTENTION THEY DESERVE AND ARE PAYING FOR, I RARELY SCHEDULE MORE THAN ONE INSPECTION PER WORKDAY. THIS ALLOWS ME TO BE THOROUGH WHEN EVALUATING THE MANY SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP A HOME, AS WELL AS ADDRESS ANY SPECIAL CONCERNS A CLIENT MAY HAVE. AND THE SERVICE DOES NOT STOP WITH DELIVERY OF THE REPORT. CLIENTS ARE INVITED TO CONTACT WITH QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS AT ANY TIME. I ENJOY SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE I HAVE GATHERED DURING MY 20 YEARS IN THE BUILDING TRADES. MY GOAL IS ALWAYS TO PROVIDE THE HOME BUYER (OR SELLER IN THE CASE OF A SELLER'S INSPECTION) WITH UNBIASED,CLEAR AND CONCISE INFORMATION TO HELP THEM MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION REGARDING A VERY IMPORTANT PURCHASE. THIS MEMBER MENTIONED THAT THE REPORT WAS 55 PAGES,TRUE, BUT THE REPORT INCLUDES LOTS OF COLOR PHOTOS, EACH WITH A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIFIC AREA OF CONCERN AND SOME BLANK SPACE. REVIEWING THE REPORT IS NOT LIKE READING A 55 PAGE STORY OR ARTICLE. TO VIEW A SAMPLE REPORT,VIEW A SCHEDULE OF FEES OR LEARN MORE ABOUT MERIDIAN HOME INSPECTION, LLC PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE. DEAR MEMBER, THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SERVING YOU AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. GREG PETERSON

Two tests, available free from the county had already been conducted determining a fairly high level of radon. Subsequent testing is a "Safety Siren Pro Series 3 Radon Gas Detector" confirmed readings as high as 25p C/l. At this point we engaged professionals to address the issue. Greg Peterson of Meridian Home Inspection provided radon mitigation services. Greg was very pleasant deal with. The initial dialog was open, honest and professional. Greg explained about radon, outlined his services and various options, and answered all my questions in a knowledgeable way. His price was in line with others in the area and his workmanship and attention to detail was impeccable. As indicated above, the service provided was thorough, profession and aesthetically appealing. I was very impressed by the attention to detail and felt confident that the job was done right. I should also note, I was tempted to do this job myself and Greg provided helpful and detailed answers to every question, even after I expressed this interest. In the end, I'm glad I had it professionally done. The routing of the PVC pipe, especially in the mechanical room and through the exterior was a chore and Meridian handled it capably and amiably. I have recommended Meridian to friends and family and will continue to do so.
Description of Work: An active, single access point, sub slab depressurization radon mitigation system was installed and thorough testing was completed. An walk through and detailed estimate was provided. All questions were answered in an open, honest and profession fashion. The house already had an access point that was stubbed up during construction. Using that access point, the draw was tested from various points by putting a suction device at the primary point then drilling small holes and testing the level of suction. After testing the draw at each location, the holes were filled and basically unnoticeable. Based on the assessment of draw at the various test points, the mitigator is able to determine the required number of access points, estimate the potential radon reduction, and detail any contingency measures that may need to be performed. In our instance there was sufficient pull throughout the slab that a single access point was all that was needed. Meridian then sealed all accessible cracks, filled any open holes and attempted to make the slab as tight as possible. The actual mitigation system was installed with PVC piping, aesthetically routed in the mechanical room, up and out through an exterior wall to a mechanical ventilation unit and then up along the rear side of the house and above the roof line (downspout pipe, as allowed for by code, was used from the mechanical ventilation unit and provided consistency from an aesthetic viewpoint). A manometer was installed on the interior piping such that it was easy to determine if the unit was operating. A professional grade radon detection device was left in the basement level for a number of days subsequent to the installation. Strict instructions were provided to keep the area as closed as possible to identify the highest level of concentration that would accumulate (typically the lowest floor has the highest radon levels). The print out of the results were provided on the spot (which showed a reading of under 1 PC/l - a dramatic difference!) and a formal report was provided by Meridian.
