The duct work for your Furnace or Heat pump system. The low cost of materials and great rewards that result make this a great place to start for healthy home conditions, energy savings, and indoor comfort! Usually a one-day project and only $20 to $80 in materials to seal duct connections. Sometimes easy but sometimes quite labor intensive. If branches need replacing or panned joists need altering then you may have to buy another $100 to $800 more in materials (and put in a couple more days work). Replacing trunks, plenums, or altering duct design will require the help of a great HVAC pro. Hiring this work out can cost from $200 to $3,500. Rick's inspection will identify the duct issues you have and the scope of the project. He'll show you where and how to do the fixes. You'll know what to ask for if you need to hire this out. Rick's service is all about helping you get the results you hoped for without over-spending. Call Rick Bayless at 828-243-5192

Beth was more mold sensitive than her husband, Dave. Her symptoms would be worse whenever she spent some time downstairs. The house inside was recently cleaned before they moved in so how can there be mold? Molds love the humidity of the Southeast. Within just a portion of one summer it will pick up where ity left off last year. With a re-cleaning of downstairs to collect dusts and surface molds, application of a mold-inhibiting paint, and a control of dampness in the crawl space below, Beth can now breathe in both the upstairs and the downstairs of her house.

Homeowner and children were having allergy symptoms at the house. My Healthy Home inspection revealed that the damp crawl space was keeping the whole house humid enough to be growing mold on furniture, walls, and carpets. I developed a to do list for them and guided them through their clean-up and moisture control projects.

Mold impacting Energy Efficiency? Not quite but the two issues are related. When the crawl space is humid dusts trapped in the fiberglass floor insulation get damp also allowing molds to grow. The dampness also reduces the ability of the floor insulation to insulate. Rather than slowing the transfer of warmth, moist things conduct warmth away faster. Damp insulation doesn't insulate as well. Plus, damp insulation is heavier and it starts to shred, pull down, and fall away from the floor.

Standard Home Inspection said Jim should buy this house. My Environmental Examination revealed the need for $20,000 in repairs. Jim used this information to negotiate a better price for the house and to spare his wife from adverse health effects she would have had if they were not aware of the environmental issue conditions.

Andrea was desperate. Water issues were driving mold growth in her apartment. Her stuff was geeting ruined. She was concerned for the health of her children. She needed an experienced, objective eye on the situation to guide everyone through effective and affordable clean-up, repairs, and preventive measures. I was able to define the issues and guide her and the maintenance crew through the appropriate fixes.

Floor trusses were wetted outside before installation at this home under construction. Rain happens. When weather doesn't cooperate it really messes up the best of construction plans. Just be sure to take appropriate mold preventive measures to prevent locking mold colonies in behind new walls during the construction process. Rick helps you identify the extent of the issue and helps you avoid letting an unfortunate situation turn ugly.
