There are some special considerations when buying a foreclosure that might not be a consideration when purchasing a normal house. The first of these considerations is to make sure that the water and power are turned on. Usually these houses are vacant and the bank has had them locked up and winterized. While this protects the house from a pipe rupture going unchecked or an AC running 24-7 it does not make a thorough home inspection possible. The agent or representative from the bank is going to have to do this as home inspectors can’t do this because their insurance will not cover this.

Since the electricity has been off for a long time no air has been ventilating. This is a problem because with no air circulating moisture has a hard time escaping. When moisture gets trapped in a house it will cause mold and mildew. This mold and mildew gets worse over time. You really need to air circulating again. If any mold area is more than ten square feet it needs to be remediated professionally according to the EPA. If it is less the ten square feet you can clean it yourself with a water and bleach solution.

Since the water has been off for some time a lot of the gaskets and washers actually dry out. When you turn the water back on it leaks where these gaskets were. In my experience as a home inspector here in Charlotte NC I have found more plumbing leaks in houses that have had the water turned off and then turned back on than any other type of house. When I inspect a foreclosure I fully expect to find some plumbing leaks. Here is a little test anyone can do to see if they have leaks in their pipes. Make sure everything is off and go out to your meter. If it is moving at all you have a supply line leak somewhere.

When we perform regular home inspection for a normal non-foreclosure house most of the items that are found are usually fixed prior to closing. The items are fixed before the buyer moves in at the sellers expense. Foreclosure houses are sold “as-is” and then the buyer has to fix the issues one his/her own. Here is the problem. Sometimes these problems cost more than you or the contractor estimated and you have to eat the extra costs. You also can’t blame the home inspector as long as he pointed it out in the first place. The other thing to watch for is unscrupulous contractors who give you a low price to get the job and then once they have your house opened up they tell you it is going to be more money. When hiring a contractor make sure you get plenty of references and tell them to give you worst case scenarios for expenses.

I hope these tips have helped you with the home inspection process of buying a foreclosure. If you want more information or have any questions please go to Home Inspection Carolina or Ask the Charlotte Inspector.

So you are thinking about finishing that basement and actually using some of that exercise equipment that is doubling as a laundry line right now. Maybe you want to have a billiard room instead of a Christmas ornament depot. Maybe it isn’t the basement your thinking of finishing maybe it is that garage carport thing you want to turn into another bedroom. Hey it’s only storing a motorcycle you haven’t ridden in three years anyway. Whatever the reason you are thinking about finishing an unfinished area of your house the question always becomes do I need a building permit for that? Usually the answer that question is usually yes with a capital Y. Let me see if I can explain.
As a home inspector in Charlotte NC for over 15 year I have seen my share of unpermitted additions and rooms being finished. The dead giveaway that it wasn’t permitted is that the space has been added but the HVAC is still the same size as before. Sadly I have seen people try to get these permitted later only to find the code inspector had them strip of the drywall so he could see the plumbing and the electrical wiring. This is sad position to be in.
You might say well why even bother with a permit. First of all if there is a leak or fire insurance might well deny your claim if there is an unpermitted addition. Also you might have trouble selling your house with an unpermitted addition. It is the law. It is also possible that the county could file a lien on you for back property taxes for under reporting square footage. So when is a permit needed.
1. Any work on your house over $5000
2. The addition, replacement or repair of load bearing members or structures.
3. The extension, alteration, or installation of any plumbing system.
4. The alteration, extension, or installation of any heating or cooling system.
5. The use of material not included in the code
6. The addition of roofing, excluding replacement of like grade of fire resistant roofing.
No you may get a contractor who tells you don’t need a permit. He may say you will only wind up paying higher property taxes. The reality is that he might not even be licensed, bonded, or insured. He doesn’t want somebody checking up on him and he maybe planning to take some shortcuts. If you have a contractor spewing some garbage like that, don’t walk, run away from him. Remember that you as the property owner will be ultimately responsible for these repairs and the contractor will have been paid and long gone.
So go ahead get that solo flex dusted off and finish that basement or garage but remember to get a permit. If you use a contractor make sure he is licensed, ensured and bonded. Make sure he pulls and closes all necessary permits. Many property permits can be checked online these days. If you have any permit or home inspection questions please visit our website at Charlotte NC Home Inspector and Ask the Charlotte Inspector.

Mr. McLaughlin was very pleased and Ralph explained things as he went through his inspection. It was a wonder experience for my buyer to have such an informative & patient Inspector.
This was my first time referring your company and I will/would definitely recommend you again!
Oh, thank you so much for the treats you leave at our office you guys will never know how that gets some of through the day!
**During inspection the water was not turned on Janan Kennedy spoke w/ Ralph and she apologised for that and ask that he go back out to inspect the plumbing when turned on and submit the reinspect fee to her. She had water turned on and wanted me to ask if someone could go out to check plumbing, if so when could that be done? Thanks again so much, it was a pleasure using you as reference.

Mr. Crowe was very polite and knowledgeable. He did a very good &
timely job. I have already recommended your service to a co-worker, Michael Martin.
We have had to move due to my work 5 times in the past 10 years so we’ve seen our
share of inspectors. One was better, which is why I couldn’t say ‘excellent’ to all
questions. That particular inspector traveled with a computer & printer and actually
handed the completed report to us before leaving – that was excellent. Thanks,

Can’t imagine a better experience. Jonathan was extremely helpful and professional. He answered my questions and fully explained his process, what to look for, etc. That is why I specifically asked for him to come back out for the re-inspection. Working with the office was very efficient and your web site was very informative and a breeze to navigate. The Inspection Report itself is the most thorough and detailed report I have seen in any of my previous three home sales. Thank you for your services and the peace of mind I have knowing that Home Inspection Carolina was looking over my shoulder.

Hey, was weeding out my inbox and noticed this; it’s late and I’m too tired to go item by item, but suffice it to say that Clifton was absolutely fantastic!

All questions (about six million of them) were answered thoroughly and courteously, and he took the time to explain the few things that did need work on the house. As much of a headache as this entire home purchase has been (short sale with boatloads of seller-caused complications), it was nice to have one aspect of the process go as well as it did!

You guys are aces in my book, and are on my list of preferred service providers to recommend to friends and family!

: Ralph was very professional, answered my questions, and took great pictures to accompany what he found. He explained things to me in a way that was easy to understand and he didn’t assume that I didn’t know what he was talking about. Even though it was a Friday, he didn’t rush to get out of there. He took his time and was thorough! There was only one issue – I had gone into my account to update my services the evening before the inspection and this was not communicated to him so he didn’t have the radon gas detector with him. I think he went back to get it though!! Also, my realtor said that she received an email stating that the inspection was cancelled and it wasnt. Other than these two things – everything went great.

Jonathan Buttery was very courteous and took the time to point out things to me so I had a complete understanding of what items needed attention. I really appreciated his perspective and insight. My father is in the construction business and has often commented that some (not all) home inspectors can be quite rude so I was a little hesitant prior to the inspection. However, I had the completely opposite experience with Jonathan. He smiled most of the time and was very pleasant to meet with. I happily told my friends (and father) what a wonderful job your company did.

I have absolutely nothing but praise for the home inspection that was performed on February 15th, 2010 by Chip Sprague. He was so thorough and took as much time with me as I needed. He explained everything to me in terms that I could understand. The report I received was everything we discussed, honest, thorough and complete. It was pleasure working with your company, will recommend you to anyone who needs your services and will with no doubt use you again in the future. Chip was professional, early to the appointment and again, just a pleasure to deal with. I am a single woman purchasing a townhouse so I again appreciate the thoroughness that Chip took with the inspection and the time he spent explaining things to me and answering my questions. Thanks so much!!!

We were very pleased with the thoroughness of the inspection, as well as how quickly we received the report back. I love the fact that I can access this online and I was able to submit the report to my loan company using online services as well. Since we live so far away, we were unable to attend the inspection, so I can’t report to timeliness and dress. But I felt very relieved to know that he went through the house, and noted (and photographed! That was super!) the issues that he found. It put our minds at rest and it let us know that the house really is as good as we believed it was!
Thanks so much and I hope your son is doing better!

While perfoming an inspection matthews home inspector Preston Sandlin found a dent in the tilled shower which was really odd because backer board would not allow a dent like this. Well it turns out that this tile was actually mounted on drywall instead of boakboard whick is a big no no. All of this tile in this walk in shower will have to be pulled down. Backer board will have to be installed and then it will need to be retiled.

Asbestos (from Greek ἄσβεστος meaning “unquenchable” or “inextinguishable”) is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals exploited commercially for their desirable physical properties. They all have in common their asbestiform habit, long, (1:20) thin fibrous crystals. The inhalation of asbestos fibres can cause serious illnesses, including malignant lung cancer, mesothelioma (a formerly rare cancer strongly associated with exposure to asbestos), and asbestosis (a type of pneumoconiosis). Since January 1, 2005, the European Union has banned all use of asbestos[1] and extraction, manufacture and processing of asbestos products.[2]

For environmental samples, one must normally resort to electron microscopy for positive identification.[3] Today, gravimetric and PCM/PLM techniques are employed. However, the latter techniques cannot readily identify the smallest, most hazardous, fibers, because they are limited to PM10 particulate size evaluation, which completely ignores ultrafine particles (UFPs).

Asbestos became increasingly popular among manufacturers and builders in the late 19th century because of its sound absorption, average tensile strength, and its resistance to heat, electrical and chemical damage. When asbestos is used for its resistance to fire or heat, the fibres are often mixed with cement or woven into fabric or mats. Asbestos was used in some products for its heat resistance, and in the past was used on electric oven and hotplate wiring for its electrical insulation at elevated temperature, and in buildings for its flame-retardant and insulating properties, tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals.
