Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently complete a complete mold inspection and helped a family determine what was making them ill.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
The big three are experience, training, and how long do you spend on site.
I would look for someone who has actually built a house and worked in every system. I would also make sure they have at least 20 inspections under their belt.
The training needs to be hands on, and they should be able to pass the national exam.
The last but not least is time on site. Most inspectors will state 2-3 hours but will get out as fast as possible to get to the next job. I recommend 3-4 hours, and as long as it takes. I spent 5 hours in an old house that required a WDI.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
The customer needs to know the size and some inspectors will ask about age, and upcharge old houses. We don't.
The customer should know if they need radon and termite, and if mold is suspected inquire about pricing.
The last thing needed will be to know if the clent will be present. We like clients present but its better they give the inspector space so as not to miss anything. I like to do my inspections in phases and meet with the client to discuss each.
