Navigation"Hi Guys,
Just wanted to say how pleased I was with the work that you did for my Long island home inspection. From beginning to end the inspectors were professional, courteous and above all, informative. The inspection report was easy to read and the supplemental materials are great. I especially liked that I was able to have the termite inspection completed at the time of the initial inspection. Thanks again for a job well done. I won't hesitate to recommend you in the future to friends and family."

Mold and Moisture
Submitted by HankJaworowski on July 11, 2010 - 7:03pm.
Mold is a fungus which typically forms and is found in moist or damp environments. Mold produces tiny spores reproduce. Spores become airborne and typically settle damp spots where they grow and feed off of whatever they are growing on in order to survive. Typical spots inside the home where mold settles are on wood, walls, ceilings, attics, basements, and basically anything else moist. Mold needs moisture to thrive and can invade a home in many ways including plumbing that leaks, unventilated areas, through condensation in heating and air conditioning systems and ducts, as well as through structural defects resulting in water entry such as a leaky roof, leaks inside walls, improperly installed windows with substandard flashing, Mold can be responsible for many ailments including respiratory problems like wheezing, and difficulty breathing; dry hacky coughs, nose and throat irritation and more. Everyone reacts different to mold and some may have mild reactions, children and the elderly are more likely to experience more severe effects. If mold present or appears to be present, samples can be taken for testing to be sure. There is usually a separate lab charge involved but it will verify whether or not mold is present. A little prevention today goes a long way tomorrow. Remember, mold needs moisture, so be sure to avoid moisture buildup and fix leaks immediately.  |

"After already having one home inspection previously by another individual/business, these guys blew him away in their thoroughness, likeability, and knowledge. On top of that, they have the educational degrees and contractor backgrounds to really know how things should be done. Lastly, they provided me with alternatives and ways to fix problems, along with anticipated costs and needs. I thank them so much and am excited to move into our new home soon." ---Dan C. Wantagh, NY "I was intrigued and impressed by the model of two inspectors, and appreciated their quick reply and ease of scheduling. We've used Precision twice now, for two separate homes, and could not be more satisfied. They have a distinct focus on educating the owner about the house they are purchasing. And not just about the house as it is, but forward-looking maintenance, too. They were thorough, spent time answering our questions, and provided a very clear, easy to read report with many photographs. We could not offer a stronger endorsement of using them for a Long Island Home Inspection." -- Todd P., Ph.D., Port Jefferson, NY" "Thank you so much Precision Home Inspection for your thorough and professional Long Island home inspection.
