Does anyone recommend the CellSensor for EMF Testing in the home to see if transmission lines nearby are radiating the home? If so, what do you recommend we do for the testing, should we unplug all electronics in the home and test? Also what is a high amount of EMF's? 2.5 and higher?

We are looking for an EMF Home Inspector in Overland Park KS, please e-mail me if you are able to perform this test Wertzjl@hotmail.com. Thanks,

Hello to all.

If you have a termite guy that could do an inspection and provide a cert please leave their name and number.

Regular guy is booked. Lucky him. He may come through he may not so I want to have some guys to call if he does not by the end of the day.

There was another guy who sent out a ton of emails around a year ago claiming he would do them free for inspectors. I called him and it is not free anymore so that pissed me off.

Client will be paying anyhow he just rubbed me the wrong way.

If you know someone dependable that may be able to do it tomorrow please post their info.

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind

I need to know when the laws were changed for sediment traps being installed in gas supply line when installing a new water heater or furnace.
What year did the new requirements take place.
Here is a water heater installed in 2010.

Today I was inspecting an Armstrong Air oil fired furnace and on the outside ofthe casing the temp hits 265 degrees in one spot only (conveiniently already marked hot spot). So I'm thinking crack in the heat exchanger or burner chamber but the service company says the insides probably shifted a little over time closer to that wall of the casing. Any opinions. There used to be a humidifier mounted above this area but it is no longer installed.

Hi Every One.
I have a home I inspected back on 3-1-13.
There are a lot of issues the main being the roof. Built up with gravel.
My question is how long till "it's been too long" for the existing inspection is no longer valid.
The first buyers walked and now a new buyer wants to buy the home.
I am unsure if the roof repairs have been made but it's the main reason the first buyer walked.
The second buyer is from a different Realtor and they the Realtors "don't know about the previous inspection".
So what is the protocol for this action. This is a time sensitive question.
They want the inspection in the morning.
Best, Clint McKie

This does not look right to me? the sink did drain with out any problems.

Hi guys

Im new to the world of IR Imaging so please forgive me if my question sounds primitive. I have recently bought Fluke TiR1 thermal imaging camera as I will need it for the dissertation. I feel like a little kid with my new toy scanning everything around me. However, every so often approx. 1min screen freezes for approx. 1sec while it says "calibration" on the screen and goes back to normal operation.

I wonder if there are any TiR1 users that could tell me if that's something that I should worry about and could possibly indicate a faulty unit or this is is completely normal.

Kind regards

Can you put shingles over a rolled torched roof? I am having this issue where the contractor said they are there for decretive reasons... ? This is a flat roof .

I would like all to know that we have many projects on the table as Board Members and committee. We have not forgotten about any of the projects we are working on but as the days go further into the most busy time for all directors we could use more volunteers to stretch out more responsibility of this New Association. You can work on a project with us and pull out at anytime. What we can't do is slow down so please help by Volunteering.
Next big step we have is getting Education available to those Home Inspectors that are not InterNachi Inspectors yet but are affiliated with us.;)
