Peer Review-The Ultimate Test

 

Did you know that a written test, 6 hours of continuing education per year and sending in a fee is all that's necessary in order to become a home inspector in the state of Illinois?

 

•Good inspectors join a national organization such as the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). 

 

•Better inspectors also join local chapters like the Great Lakes Chapter of ASHI.

 

•The Best inspectors have taken the Peer Review.  In order to pass the Master Inspector By Review™ (MIBR™), an inspector has to find all of the must find deficiencies a panel of other inspectors have identified in an actual house.  This is an all-or-nothing test.  Only a fraction of participants pass this stringent test.  Frank Lesh was one of the first inspectors to pass the Master Inspector By Review™ (MIBR™).  This is one of the reasons why Home Sweet Home Inspection Company is among the most expensive inspection companies in the western suburbs.  With Home Sweet Home Inspection Company, you get what you pay for.

What's Inspected During A Home Inspection

 

A typical home inspection includes the following: 
 
• Structural and Basement
• Heating and Cooling
• Plumbing and Bathrooms
• Electrical and Kitchen
• Interior and Attic
• Roofing System and Exterior
• Ground
• Summary
 
 
Inspections take approximately 3 hours. We ask that you accompany us during the inspection so your questions and concerns will be addressed. Our goal is to communicate the report to you in easy-to-understand language, so at the end of the inspection, you will have a good overview of the condition of the home through the report you will receive.
 
 
Synthetic Stucco (EIFS)
 
If you own or are considering purchasing a synthetic stucco (Dryvit®, Senergy®, and Sto®) house, we strongly urge you to have a moisture analysis inspection by a certified third party EIFS inspector such as Home Sweet Home Inspection Company.
 
EIFS inspections include:
 
• A moisture analysis using a non-penetrating moisture meter, and with written consent, a probe-type moisture meter that gives us a digital readout of the exact moisture content of the wood substrate, and therefore a more accurate test. 
• A written report based on the condition of the EIFS at the time of the inspection (in most cases, the report will be e-mailed to you within 24 hours).
• Photographs showing specific deficiencies of the EIFS using the standards of the EIFS Industry Members Association,  the Exterior Design Institute's training course,  and accepted building practices and installation techniques.
