Absolute Inspection Service LLC

The home inspection went very smoothly and we were very impressed with the level of service provided. The report was clear and very comprehensive. He spent about 3 hours at the home we were buying and fully inspected everything inside and out and then met with us to explain all of the findings. He was available for questions and was very professional. I have already recommended him to several coworkers purchasing homes and they were equally pleased. We have been in our new home 2 months and have not discovered anything he missed.

While seemingly thorough, his well-written missed several key items. I called to complain about those items, and he touted that everything and quot;had been done to the standard practicesand quot; (which he offered to email me for my reference). It may well have been completed according to SC standard practices, but... The oven was evidently once infested with mice (gross!) There were hundreds of feces behind the unit and insulation was contaminated with mouse urine which off-gassed ammonia when the oven was first used. Ugh!!! (He tested it to see that the element heated, but never actually heated it to any degree) The cabinet below the kitchen sink was visibly severely damaged with water. (Hello!) Several light switches are completely disconnected (attached to nothing!), and The wall behind the drain pipe underneath the bathroom sink is NON-EXISTENT. The and quot;walland quot; was instead only a piece of wallpaper. Shame on me for not checking after his work. But I operated under the presumption that this fellow was working for the buyer. Do not trust this inspector to be as thorough as you might suppose, as if he were buying the house to live in himself (as if he were actually looking out for you and not strictly holding to standard practices.) .A painful lesson, but do not be fooled by the moniker and quot;Absolute Inspectionand quot;; it does not refer to the depth of his skills, only that he will do absolutely nothing more than what are in the standard practices. Note: he was lauded as being a good man of faith, but I never got the Golden Rule vibe from this fellow. Just sayin'...
