Good Structural Engineer For Those Extra Difficult Inspection Issues

Sometimes after a home inspection the inspector just doesn't have the background knowledge to make a certain determination about a potential problem.

At those times we typically call in a professional structural engineer.

The link above will take you to a post on that topic at one of our other blogs.

Buying an Ypsilanti home built between the late 40's and the early 60's


Example Sewer Line Video


If you are buying a home built between the late 40's and the early 60's in Ypsilanti it is a real good idea to have your sewer line inspected to determine its condition and what it is made of. "Orangeburg" material was popular during that time and much of it is failing these days.

The above link will take you to a video of an example inspection done at a home of this age. This home turned out to have a "Crock" type pipe.
