Homeowners are tasked with many upkeep and maintenance duties to keep their homes safe and secure. But often, homeowners don’t have the time, expertise or the ability to give their home a thorough annual inspection.
When you bought your home, you made sure a home inspection was part of the buying process. It gave you peace of mind, and is required by lenders who want to ensure they are making a sound investment.
But have you thought about your return on investment lately? Have you considered re-visiting that peace of mind, knowing your home is safe, secure and free of damage? Boggs Inspection Services wants to make it easy to do just that. That’s why they offer a comprehensive safeguard inspection that includes sub-structure, exterior and interior check points, as well as an energy use analysis.
“Every house should be maintained,” stresses Boggs Inspection Services owner Dwayne Boggs. “Cutting back brushes, caulking, painting, it all needs to be done. If not, it can lead to defects, such as exposed wood rot. If crawlspace vent screens are not in place, then rodents could enter the substructure causing damage to insulation, water supply lines and the vapor barrier. If there is a leak in the crawlspace this could damage the framing.”
Many costly home repairs start as basic home maintenance projects that go undetected. Have you braved your crawlspace lately? When was the last time you had a thorough look at your roof and gutters? Industry standards suggest a yearly home check-up. Just like your car needs tune-ups, your home needs check-ups to stay in good working order for safety and longevity.
Boggs inspectors have the professional training and skills to find the places in your home that may have been damaged or could lead to damage. The Boggs safeguard inspection also includes an energy analysis from Smart Energy Today, allowing homeowners to discover how to save money and energy through trusted techniques and the latest technology. Energy inspections include fans, filters, lighting, insulation and thermostat analysis.
“We chose to partner with Smart Energy Today after completing a commercial inspection on a property they were looking to buy,” shares Boggs. “I liked their concepts and the fact that they have very modern ways to help home owners save on heating and cooling costs. And we both agreed an energy audit with the safeguard inspection would be the way to go.”
For $185, the safeguard inspection gives homeowners the information they need to move forward with any home repairs discovered during the process. By finding the exact spots minor maintenance may be needed, homeowners are armed with the knowledge needed to ensure prevention against damage down the road. It’s a small price to pay for the peace of mind and protection of what is, for most people, their most important investment—their home.
“They explained simple improvements we can make to save us money and future headaches,” said happy customer, Julie Murray.
An annual check-up is recommended to assess the following, starting with the sub-structure: leaky pipes and drains, disconnected clothes dryer ducts, damaged insulation, termites and wood-destroying pests, rodent damage, or animal activity.
Interior check-up includes state-of-the-art electronic moisture metering which can locate hidden leaks from toilets, tubs, shower surrounds and dishwashers.
Exterior check-up includes identification of maintenance issues, masonry and foundation issues, and signs of damage to exterior siding, such as rot, decay, curling or cracking.
Boggs provides excellent customer service and encourages home owners to take pride in their investment. It’s recommended to make your own list of concerns when Boggs Inspection Services comes for a safeguard inspection. Have you felt a draft? Felt a soft spot on the floor? Heard a suspicious noise? The inspectors want to know.
