  • Lets get that honey to do list done from Phillips Inspection Services in Lancaster, Ohio.

    I can almost guarantee that you have many projects either started and not finished or projects that need to be done but a certain someone is to busy watching NCAA basketball. Which I to am guilty of but my chores are done. Some things are more important than others, like water stains on your ceilings or a furnace filter that hasn't been changed since you moved in or all the foliage that is growing out of your gutters. Water can wreak havoc on your home. I find it is a lot easier to accomplish something when you have a scope of work sitting in front of you. Its a good feeling of accomplishment when the list begins to shorten. If you can spend a day making a car look its best. I think you should spend some time making the most expensive purchase you have ever made to look at its best. Homes can be very expensive to repair if not properly maintained. If you are interested in getting a home maintenance list put together to get some of these projects done or need advice on how to complete something correctly so everyone is happy please feel free to contact me.

  • Spring is just around the corner what kind of shape is your house in around Lancaster, Logan, Circleville, Carroll, Columbus, or Central Ohio?

    Now is the time to spend some time outside and do a visual observation of your homes exterior surfaces and components. Things that one should be looking for would be proper attachment of gutters, downspouts, roofing surfaces where snow and ice may have been laying. Look at large tree limbs that may be hanging over your house. The added weight of the ice may have lowered the limbs and compromised their strength. There are many other things to look at but the biggest issue is moisture. Look at where it lay ed the longest, look at areas that were vulnerable i.e behind gutters, around chimneys, valley flashing that is located towards the bottom of your roof, around your foundation, look in crawlspaces and basements. Everything is now melting and water will be draining in and around your foundation walls. Ensure you do a test of the sump pump if you have one. Last thing you need is for water to make its way into your basement. If you have any questions about home maintenance or inspection issues please feel free to contact us.

    Best regards,

  • Does your inspector know what he is talking about or is the information coming from another source?

    If you are looking for a inspector, hopefully you are looking for one that has retained there own knowledge and can write their own information relating to the inspection business. It is so easy now a days to act as if you know what you are talking about when in all actuality you are just using information from someone else.

    Make sure as a potential home buyer that your home inspector is knowledgeable about the issues that they have posted on networking sites or on their own websites. Many associations allow fellow members to use information that has been written by someone else to use as their own. This would be fine if you were hiring the individual that wrote it but you are hiring someone who just copied and pasted it.

    There are many inspectors who understand the inspection field and know what they are talking about. I just want to make sure that if you are in the process of searching for a inspector you choose someone who can stand behind what they advertise and claim they know. Ask questions, do your research, this is your money and your investment make the right decision and choose someone who will perform the best inspection available.

  • Is your website just sitting there costing you money? Maximize your site in Lancaster, Logan, Circleville, Carroll, Columbus, Central Ohio.

    Are you one of those individuals that have paid for a website and have yet to see the first return? A lot of individuals admire their own sites just in the fact that they can find it on google when they type in their own address. The question is how do you get your site to come up when there are searches being done for your own services? The web is loaded with businesses but what many do not know is that the more sites you can get your address on the better your ranking will be. I started my home inspection site over a year ago and it wasn't until about six months ago I begin to learn how to get on the first page and stay there. First of all, link exchanging has become a major part of my success along with customizing your site to reflect services offered and areas served. Many of you are already aware of this but many new business owners who start websites have no clue. Your paying for a site each month, maximize it. I have seen instant success in google ranking with my business. The work I have picked up from my site has payed for my web expenses for the next 10 years. Put some time into it. Make sure your home page has your company name what you do and areas you cover. Then make sure you include your key words into your web options. I promise you will see results. There are many other things you can do yourself. If you are interested in learning more please feel free to contact me through my website www.phillipsinspectionservices.com.

  • Ice damming could be causing very serious damage to your home in Central Ohio.

    What a beautiful time of year, if of course you enjoy frigid weather and below freezing temperatures. If you are experiencing a large amount of ice freezing at the base of your roof and covering your gutters entirely you may want to be just the bit concerned.

    Roofs that have poor insulation and ventilation are more likely to suffer from ice damming problems because the attic space will be hotter due to the lack of attic insulation. A lack of insulation will allow a lot of heat loss from the house into the attic. If the ventilation is poor it will not allow the hot air to escape from the attic. The heat from the attic will melt the snow and will run down to the the base of the roof where the gutters are located where the temperature is below freezing thus creating the dam.

    Some of the problems that may occur are gutters being torn off water stains on walls or ceilings which can cause damage. Roof damage to the sheating or fascia boards. Do not attempt to take sharp objects to the ice you may cause damage to the shingles.

    There are ways to prevent ice damming. One is to check on the insulation and ventilation in your attic spaces ensuring there are no obstructions from soffit venting all the way up to ridge venting. Make sure attic space is insulated properly.

    There is also something they call Heating Cables. These cables can be attached to the base of the roof surface in a zig zag pattern that will create enough heat to prevent ice build up. The thing with these are to make sure they are turned on before the snow falls. These cables are very low voltage and will not be able to work if they are already covered in ice.

    If you have any questions on this topic please feel free to contact us anytime. Let us perform a complete attic evaluation. We may be able to save you alot of money and headaches in the future.

    Don't make the mistake and skimp on your home inspection. Times are tight and the inspection is one of the items that is last to be taken care of. This is no time to try and save a few dollars by hiring someone who claims to be something they are not.

    Our company is equipped with the latest software for report writing and all the latest tools and technologies when it comes to home inspection. We have received all our designations from Hondros College in Westerville, Ohio and have done on site training along with going through a mentor-ship program with highly qualified Home Inspectors and Engineers. I could almost guarantee that other companies have not done on site training nor did they receive the benefits from a mentor-ship program.

    There isn't anything our company cannot take care of. Thermal Imaging Scans, Mold, Radon, Pests, Well/Septic, water testing, gas line testing with warranty, investment properties, commercial properties, consultations, draw inspections, new build inspections and the list could go on.

    Make the right decision for you and your investment contact Phillips Inspection Services today!!

  • Are you getting left behind? The importance of key words and link exchanging.

    I always took for granted that business would be there. Times have changed and the way clients are finding us have changed. I found myself getting behind the 8 ball with my competition. I have now realized that being on the front page of a search engine has become one of my top priorities. With some no how, key words, and link exchanging you can take your business to the next level. I went from being on pages 3 and 4 of a google search when looking for a home inspector in Lancaster, Logan, Circleville, and Carroll Ohio to now being on page 1 when looking for a home inspector in Logan, and Circleville Ohio, and page 2 in Lancaster Ohio. This has all happened within 2 weeks and Im sure it will get better as I exchange more links. If you are interested in exhanging links with me please let me know and I will get you added within a couple hours. If you add me my information is as follows.
