I went to my trusty optician at LensCrafter's Optique. This store at The Edison Mall is inside Macy's....kind of tucked outside of view on the second floor.... hard to find if you're not looking....but worth the search. The staff at this location is top notch!

I've always provided a narrative report with summary pages and color photographs. Although this type of reporting takes longer, the client has a clear picture of the property.

Then the client takes the inspection piece of the puzzle and combines it with all the other factors; cost, loan, ammenities, appraisal, their plans f...

We see this quite often in SW Florida; pitting and/or cracking driveways. In most cases, the cracking is simply settling issues. We have mostly sand in our area so cracking of driveways is common. Pitting can occur and is more difficult to determine how it happened. During the summer months in Fl...

We inspected a lovely home with beautiful Florida landscaping. You could smell the fresh cedar and all the greenery. But what's the feature in the middle? Yep, it's the clean-out for the septic tank underneath. I think it's a good idea to keep the clean-out fairly visible. It makes it so much eas...

Hydrogen Sulfide! ...but you probably knew that already. The premature aging of copper pipes in a home with well water. This is typically a result of decaying organic deposits underground; water passes through and the hydrogen sulfide gas is picked up. When the water reaches the faucet, the gas i...
