Customer Reviews

Verified Mount Gilead, OH Customer Feedback

★★★★★

The moisture map in the report — actual readings, by location on the wall face — was the documentation we needed when the seller's agent tried to dispute the findings. Numbers don't argue with opinions.

R. & T. Holcomb

Mount Gilead, OH

★★★★★

The written report is organized exactly the way a contractor needs it — deficiency, elevation, priority, rough cost. I gave it to three repair contractors and got comparable quotes immediately.

The geo-referenced photos in the report were what turned the claim. Panel-by-panel documentation with location references is what adjusters need to approve full scope — not a count from the driveway.

C. Bauer

Mount Gilead, OH

★★★★★

The report's separation of Critical, Moderate, and Monitor deficiencies made it easy to prioritize what to fix before listing versus what to disclose as maintenance items. That structure saved us from over-spending on low-priority issues.

FAQ

Common Questions About Siding Inspection in Mount Gilead, OH

General home inspectors cover 20+ building systems and typically spend less than five minutes per exterior elevation, noting obvious visual deficiencies from a distance. A dedicated siding inspection covers the same exterior in 90 minutes to three hours, with close-range panel assessment, calibrated moisture meter readings at a systematic grid, caulk probe testing at every accessible penetration, fastener pattern checks at accessible areas, and documented assessment of housewrap integrity at soffit edges and window flanges.

Our standard toolkit: calibrated pin-type moisture meter for sheathing readings at accessible points, non-invasive capacitance meter for scanning behind panels in suspected infiltration zones, caulk probe tool for joint integrity testing, 24" level for checking panel alignment and drainage plane, and DSLR with macro capability for documenting panel-face conditions. We also use a tablet documentation system that references each photo to its location on the building.

Annual inspections on any exterior cladding over 15 years old are cost-effective in Mount Gilead, OH — catching failed caulk and minor fastener movement at the annual visit costs far less than the water damage these small failures cause if left unaddressed for years.

If the inspection identifies repair work you engage us to complete, the inspection fee is credited against the repair project cost. That arrangement ensures the inspection is an objective assessment — not a sales tool designed to generate the highest possible repair recommendation.

Yes — non-invasive capacitance meter scanning identifies elevated moisture behind panels without drilling or cutting. The meter detects elevated moisture content in the wall assembly and flags zones for confirmation with targeted pin readings at accessible points. We've identified active sheathing moisture on Mount Gilead, OH properties where the exterior surface appeared completely intact and the interior walls showed no staining.

The inspection and the repair are separate service decisions. Our goal on the inspection is the most accurate assessment possible. What you do with the information is entirely your choice — and the report gives you the documentation to make that choice from an informed position.
