What to Expect When You're Inspecting
As you know, homebuyers and sellers can sometimes find home inspection a bit overwhelming. Most often it's simply because they don't know what to expect.
Now, it's probably safe to assume that as an agent, you don't have a lot of extra time to educate them on the value of the process and the added variables, such as city requirements, radon testing and more.
We would like to help you do that with our interactive website and our blog that present news and information your clients can use, along with diagrams, video and links to important resources.

Moisture Problems - Sumps to Big Bumps
Basements and crawl spaces with sump baskets may or may not be drain tiled. Drain tiles can be located on either the interior or the exterior of the foundation footing. Contractors will give varying opinions on which method is best, but it really doesn't matter. In real swampy locations, 'cautious' contractors will install drainage tiles on both sides of the foundation. Home inspectors in Minneapolis and St. Paul pay very close attention to the existence and quality of installation of these sumps in order to protect their clients from future water damage and mold problems. You should too.
