RADON TESTING SERVICES

Is This Dangerous Gas Lurking In Your Home?

Radon is a gas that occurs naturally outdoors in harmless amounts. It’s produced from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rocks. It sometimes gets concentrated in homes built on soil with natural uranium deposits. It can enter buildings through cracks in floors or walls, construction joints, or gaps in foundations around pipes, wires or pumps. Radon levels are usually highest in the basement or crawl space. The presence of radon in the home is a serious risk to the health of you and your family. When radon gas is breathed into the lungs the person is exposed to small amounts of radiation. This radiation may damage the cells in the lining of the lungs and increase a person’s risk of lung cancer. Exposure to the combination of radon gas and cigarette smoke creates a greater risk for lung cancer than either factor alone. If you think your home is at risk of contamination contact AmeriSpec for a radon test.

AIR QUALITY TESTING SERVICES

Breathe Easy With An Amerispec Healthy Home Inspection

Protecting yourself and your family from harmful contaminants in your home is very important. Poor indoor air quality can have profound negative effects on your health and the health of your family. It can affect your productivity and the enjoyment of your home. Take the first step toward a healthy home by calling the AmeriSpec about a Healthy Home Inspection.

POOL INSPECTION SERVICE

Keeping your pool, cool!

A professional pool inspection by AmeriSpec will get your pool summer ready! We’ll perform a visual examination of the pool installation and also check pool equipment including the pool line and electrical supply. The pool inspection will vary depending on your type of pool, heating, pumping, filtering systems, and the type of chemicals you use to keep the water clean and balanced. An inspection also includes checkpoints for safety devices used to prevent accidents as well as pool area landscaping too.

Types of pools

  • Vinyl liners Come in a variety of different shapes and can last 10 to 20 years. These liners are installed above ground or in-ground. They’re the most popular style for residential pools due to the low cost and ease of installation.
  • Fibreglass Often associated with hot tubs but also used in some pools, moulded fibreglass shells are placed in a hole in the ground. Fibreglass panels are also assembled on-site over a concrete base.

Installation considerations:

  • Prior to excavation, soil conditions in the pool installation area should be tested
  • Undisturbed loam provides ideal soil conditions
  • The presence of clay, or sandy or wet soils often creates challenges for excavation
  • A soil engineer can determine the type of soil you have by extracting and analyzing core samples
  • For expensive clay/ sand, or wet soil conditions, special considerations have to be taken during excavation and pool wall support installation

Asbestos Home Inspection Service

Have Your Home Tested For Asbestos Today

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once commonplace in building material, specifically asbestos insulation. Homes built before 1990 often contain asbestos. While Canada has now banned the use of asbestos, many homes and buildings still have traces. When asbestos fibres are released into the air, they are an immediate health risk to you and your family.

Before you begin any renovations, remodelling or demolition, you should talk to the professionals at AmeriSpec about our asbestos inspection service. Reduce the risk of asbestos exposure by booking an appointment with one of our qualified specialists.

The Three Main Types Of Asbestos

Chrysotile

Also called white asbestos, this is the most common form. Often contaminated with tremolite, it is extremely hazardous. Chrysotile asbestos is commonly found in asphalt, roofing materials and textiles.

Amosite

Referred to as brown asbestos, amosite is commonly used in cement, insulation, tiles and roofing.

Tremolite

Tremolite is responsible for many asbestos-related illnesses with colours ranging from white to dark green. This type of asbestos is commonly found in paint, plumbing materials, insulation and roofing.

The Dangers Of DIY Asbestos Removal

Given the dangers involved, asbestos removal is not a do-it-yourself project. In short, not every home has asbestos. However, if you do come across it, do not try to remove the asbestos yourself. Mishandling it could actually make things worse by allowing fibres to get into the air you breathe. This could potentially result in respiratory issues. Professionals should always remove this harmful substance for you. Therefore, you can maintain a healthy atmosphere in your home.

NEW HOME INSPECTION SERVICES

Why is a New Home Inspection Important?

A new home inspection is your chance to make sure that the work you requested and were promised is complete. You can ascertain what work remains to be done and what work needs to be corrected or redone. Don’t skip this important step in the process. Plan a full tour of your new home in the presence of your contractor and a qualified inspector from AmeriSpec. During this inspection, the contractor must note on the checklist, any item that is not to your satisfaction. Before signing this document, clearly note all the defects that you want to correct, otherwise they will be considered accepted and seen. Your home is often the biggest investment you will ever make. Protect that investment with the help of an AmeriSpec new home inspection.
