A home inspection is a relatively simple way to help protect the largest investment you’re likely to make in your lifetime. Whether buying or selling, an inspection can find several issues with a property that will save you a larger headache down the line. If you’re in the market for a home inspector in Kansas City, Dru Gordon of Gordon & Associates can help.
Read on for some of the problems an inspection from Gordon & Associates can discover:
Radon
Radon is a hazard that cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. Radon gas is believed to be the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoke. The air pressure inside your home is lower than the pressure in the soil around your home’s foundation. Because of this, your house can act like a vacuum and draw radon gas in through cracks in your foundation as well as other openings in your home. Dru Gordon holds the proper licenses to test for radon as part of his home inspection services in Kansas City.
Termites
Termites damage approximately 600,000 homes in the U.S. each year. Nearly $5 billion is spent annually to control termites and repair damage caused by them in the U.S. alone. All home inspections completed by Gordon & Associates include a termite inspection at no additional cost. Dru Gordon is licensed in Missouri and Kansas to complete wood destroying insect inspections.
Mold
While molds are a natural part of the environment, some types of mold act as allergens, irritants, and in some cases, toxic substances that cause serious health problems. Molds reproduce through the spread of spores that are invisible to the naked eye. When these spores land on surfaces that are wet they can begin to grow mold inside your home. Fortunately, mold is a problem that a home inspection from Gordon & Associates can easily discover, we even offer access to a sample of our mold report so that you can be as informed as possible.
