PreSaleInspectionInformation Home Inspector City of Detroie

The purpose of an inspection is to determine whether items are performing their intended function.  Inspectors are generalists and must not portray themselves as specialists in any field or trade, even though most inspectors are plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, etc.  Take myself for instance, I'm an apartment building owner and have bought and sold countless single family houses all over Michigan and Ohio.  Everything from electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, painting, and even demolition I've done with my own two hands over the last 17 years.  That's a plethora of experience yet, when I walk into a customers home I don't pretend to be an expert on any one singular trade that might have an impact on repairs that need to be addressed.  However, where my experience becomes invaluable is I know how to spot the problems.  I know when something is not installed properly and creates an immediate danger.  Or when maintenance needed is just normal wear and tear.  And although the inspector does not inspect for compliance with building codes for two reasons, First, this is the jurisdiction of the municipality where the property is located. The municipality is responsible for ensuring that buildings are constructed according to standards for health and safety.  And Second, building codes constantly change, and codes in forces when the house was built may not be current. It is impossible for an inspector to know all codes for all municipalities.  And although as a home inspector we are not code officials, we are extremely familiar with the minimum housing code or ordinance in the area in which we live and do business and we focus on health and safety issues to ensure you're not in danger in the home.

You should choose Pre Closing Inspections for your next purchase or sale.  We have the experience to provide you with an extremely detailed inspection report.  visit our website at www.preclosinginspection.com

Inspecting for Bedbug Epidemic in Detroit

Myth: "If only we still had access to DDT we could defeat bedbugs"

In reality Bedbugs were almost all but eliminated from the industrial world due to availability and broad use of numerous pesticides, with DDT being the most common.  Since the 70's, when the United States banned DDT, significant parts of the world still utilized DDT, especially in Africa and Asia.  Since that time, decades have passed and thousands of generations of bedbugs have been exposed to various level of those pesticides, passing on increased immunity to their offspring.  The resistance is so strong in various strains that some bedbugs are resistant to DDT at 1,000 times the concentration it was previously used.  This parasite is remarkable in that it actually has the ability to pass on these traits of resistance to future generations.  In my experience it takes vigilance and cooperation from your tenants to rid the problem, often times this requires frequent trips into each unit using various chemicals and over all keeping the unit clean.

It's also advisable to know as much as you can about the bedbug if this is what you're dealing with.  They can actually be difficult to deal with.
