.Log Home Inspections

Rapid City was named after Rapid Creek, on which the city is established, it is set against the eastern slope of the Black Hills mountain range. Miles of bike paths run through the city along Rapid creek.The discovery of gold in 1874 brought a flow of settlers into the Black Hills. Out of the gold rush grew cities, and other industries became apparent, such as lumbering, ranching and farming. John Brennan and Samuel Scott, along with a small party of men, came to the area in February 1876. They camped in what is now known as Cleghorn Springs, did some exploring, and decided to lay out the site of the present Rapid City. A square mile was measured off and the six blocks in the center were designated as a business section. Committees were appointed to bring in prospective merchants and their families to locate in the new settlement. When buying a new home or place of business, consider the best inspection service for your new property and feel confident that you bought the right one. 

S-Trap plumbingPlumbingThe plumbing needs to be inspected for leaks, improper connections and functionality. The location of the main water shutoff valve needs to be located and be reported on. Plumbing leaks & water leaks are bad inside & out. 

This is an “S” Trap. The S in S-Trap means “SLOW” Homeowner repairs can be found on many older homes and much of the time are unprofessionally done. Plumbing pipes and fixtures can give way at any time much like any item, system or component in any home. If the home was constructed before the 1970’s, we will recommend to have the homes sewer line be scoped for possible damage or collapse, We highly recommend scoping all older sewer lines. You don’t want to move into a home and right away you have to spend $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 to have the line replaced. It is well worth the $150.00

 

Foundation repairsFoundation repairs can also be costly. This foundation was just repaired by a local so called “Professional”. They need to have their tools taken away so they can’t do this type of work for anyone ever again.

Many homes in the Black Hills & Rapid City have foundation problems. The foundation is the heart of the home and does many things to keep a home in good working order. All foundations should be thoroughly inspected before buying any structure.

A bad foundation could cost you $30,000.00 and up depending on the damage. Water is the biggest cause of damage to any foundation. Drainage around the home plays a huge roll into keeping your foundation in good working order and preventing costly damage. Gutters also play a huge roll into keeping the foundation dry and in good working order. 

 

 

 

Moisture Issues

Moisture is a big problem to any home or commercial property. Water damage can be costly in many ways, Mold is one big concern with water intrusion and can cause major health concerns. Termites love moisture, insects of all sorts & mold thrives where there is moisture. Mold testing is not apart of a typical inspection and would be a separate service.   

 

 

 

Plumbing leaks

Plumbing issues are often found during a home or commercial inspection. Leaks should be taken care of as soon as possible before they turn into costly repairs. This shows a packing nut leaking at the water heater and just may need to be tightened. Be careful when tightening a packing nut on any valve. Recommend cleaning the area and tighten very slowly! Water heaters should be flushed every three months to clean out hard water scale, to help keep the water heater in good working condition for years beyond their life expectancy!
