Home Inspector Birmingham

Griffith Home Analysis is Collaborating with Alabama Realtors

The realty sector across the nation continues to witness many unprecedented scenarios, and the inventory options continue to add some exciting options. While the buying sentiments can have seasonal variations, some things don’t change—the need for house inspections. Whether it is inspecting the structural integrity of a commercial building or checking a family house, property inspections are important for realtors who need professionally conducted inspections to ensure the buyers feel assured about the transparency of the deal while sellers get the conviction of knowing that the price on offer is in accordance with the condition of their unit. These dynamics are applicable to Alabama too where property sales are common across the Greater Birmingham area and Mobile locations. Here, many realtors and interior designers might try to pose as home evaluators, but it takes a true professional to conduct a property inspection—Griffith Home Analysis has been at the forefront of providing quick and efficient inspections in the area, collaborating with realty firms.

Home inspections are often demanded by prospective home purchasers. The idea is to get more than a fair idea about the overall condition of the house. Sometimes, sellers insist on the inspection being conducted by a building inspector of their choice while there are occasions when the property inspection is mutually agreed to be provided by the realtor, as a part of the deal/services. It is not uncommon to find a different home inspection conducted on either side, by the seller and buyer. In all such instances, pre-sale home inspection offers real value without conflict. Even if different house inspection agencies are involved, their reports can be matched to uncover any aspect of the property that can affect the price-related negotiations. In most home inspection scenarios, the visiting inspector provides clarity about the condition of essential components of the house, such as:

● Plumbing
● Siding
● Doors
● HVAC
● Electrical
● Windows
● Basement
● Roof structure

EIFS Siding in Home Inspection Projects with Griffith Home Analysis

EIFS siding inspections are being increasingly demanded by realtors and a Griffith Home Inspector has the credentials to address the requirement. Most types of artificial stucco sidings have a series of overlaid components. While the weather sealing performance of the siding is important, it can take a beating over a period. While traditional stucco can have multiple layers of cement, EIFS inspections have revealed synthetic stucco mix and fiberglass mesh being used commonly apart from foam insulation board. With many other materials like plywood, drywall, and board backer board that make up the siding, they can suffer wear & tear. Griffith Home Analysis has the experience to handle standard and complex EIFS stucco siding inspections. This includes siding evaluation in apartments, townhouses, and large estates apart from stucco inspections of commercial properties.

Griffith Home Inspectors for Handling Mold Inspections

Griffith Home Analysis has been handling moisture inspections for many years and this includes mold testing across properties in Birmingham, AL. Mold inspection can be difficult in homes where visual inspection is limited or the design inhibits proper access to areas vulnerable to mold. The older brick structures in Birmingham homes can be challenging for detecting underlying mold growth. An even bigger problem can be small-time contractors trying to pass as home inspectors, unable to identify mold in areas as they don’t have the experience to look beyond the usual areas. A Griffith home inspector can provide a more honest and unbiased opinion by reporting mold occurrences without concealing information. Mold detection has another, related aspect—presence of mold hints at moisture leakage & seepage and this in turn, raises a question about the internal air ventilation and heating systems apart from plumbing systems and the condition of the HVAC units. A good home inspector can provide clarity, helping to identify underlying causes like roof or siding leakages.
