Experience

• Home Inspector and Moisture Testing – Over 1000 home inspections and moisture
  tests combined. Moisture Testing involves taking moisture level readings in the
  sheating behind the exterior siding where high levels of moisture should NOT be.
  Some types of siding such as vinyl can be tested using a scanner. Other types such
  as stucco involves drilling 2 small holes 3/16" Dia. in various locations. Probes are
  then inserting to get a moisture level reading.

• Residential Energy Auditor. The audit process is very similar to the home
  inspection process. I describe the home insulation, windows, caulking, weather
  stripping, and the heating system. We make recommendations for energy and

  consumption.
