Inspector Gadget

Mitch Erwin of JPM Inspection Services, Inc. showed
up to inspect the house. All I can say is, damn, this
guy is good. He showed up and set up a laptop and
went to work, snooping about the house and it’s crawl
spaces, taking loads of photos and and making notes.
He would then return to his laptop to upload photos
of problem areas and fill in bits of the report, then
he was back at it. He spent the better part of 3
hours inspecting the house. And although he told us
mostly what we already knew, he was very thorough. I
will try to post a link to the PDF for those of you
that want to see what a good inspection should look
like.
Mitch gave us a good idea of what it would cost to fix things and what needed to be done first. And he told us that we had some major foundation problems, and as any good inspector should, he scared the hell out of us. He suggested that to fix the foundation problem that it could cost us upwards of $40,000. Let me repeat that, FORTY THOUSAND dollars. After I came to, I very nervously began to call my wife and relay this info to her. I think she took it worse than I did. So, our buddy Mitch gave us a reco on a foundation specialist. We shall see how that goes...
