At B3 Property Inspections LLC, our inspector is an FAA licensed pilot operating under 14 CFR Part 107 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. We have embraced the use of cutting-edge technology to enhance our inspection services. One of the tools we rely on is drones, which have revolutionized the way inspections are conducted. These unmanned aerial vehicles not only make the inspection process more efficient but also contribute to the safety of our workers. By utilizing drones, our inspectors are no longer required to climb on roofs or use ladders when it is not safe to do so, significantly minimizing the risk of accidents. Through this innovative approach, we prioritize the well-being of our employees while ensuring accurate and comprehensive inspections for our valued clients.

By inspecting roofs with a drone, it also allows for inspections to be completed efficiently and thoroughly, regardless of the pitch of the roof or if the roof is wet. Gone are the days when steep roofs posed a challenge for inspectors, as drones can effortlessly access all components of a roof, from inspecting soffits, fascia, gutters, and roof material, to scrutinizing dormers, chimneys, and much more. Thanks to advancements in technology, drones now come equipped with state-of-the-art camera technology onboard. With drones revolutionizing the way roof inspections are conducted, property owners can have greater peace of mind knowing that their roofs are being thoroughly assessed safely and potential problems are being identified and addressed promptly.

Inspection and Testing involves a visual inspection of the home looking for the presence of moisture intrusion that can lead to mold growth. As well as actual presence of mold. While visually observing, we also conduct air sampling and physical sampling of identified mold. Samples are then sent off to a 3rd party laboratory to test and provide a report of the findings back to the client. This provides you with the comfort of knowing whether you have mold in your home. This will allow you to work with a mold remediation company to best remove and repair the home.

This service is separate from any other inspection. Can be added on to a Residential Home Inspection at a discounted rate.

What is a sewer scope inspection?

A sewer scope inspection provides an internal view of a home's sewer lines. A trained home or sewer inspector conducts the examination using a plumbing camera connected to a long, fiberglass cable inserted into the home’s sewer line. The camera's footage is transmitted to a screen, enabling the inspector to identify any obstructions or failures that may be present in the existing system.

A broken or damaged sewer system can cause a home to have:

• Foul odors inside the house

• Sewage backups

• Slow draining sinks and tubs

• Mold growth and water damage

• Structural damage from leaks and flooding

• Foundational issues

Having a sewer scope inspection can reveal any existing issues in the sewer line, helping you make an informed decision when buying a home. It can potentially save you from expensive repairs and health hazards down the line.

Structural risks can pose significant threats to a property and its inhabitants. Issues such as flooding in the home or backyard, shifting or cracking in the home's foundation, and mold growth can compromise the safety and integrity of the structure.

Similarly, health risks stemming from structural issues should not be underestimated. Invading pests like rodents, flies, roaches, or parasites can enter through damaged pipes, exposing residents to various diseases. Mold spores, along with harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, chlorine, nitrous oxide, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide, can also infiltrate the living spaces, leading to health complications.

Furthermore, the presence of water contaminated with bacteria like E-coli, typhoid fever, salmonella, cholera, and viruses like hepatitis A from a broken sewage pipe can amplify health hazards within the household.

Having a sewer inspection conducted may seem like an unnecessary expense, especially if the plumbing in the home appears to be working fine. However, the cost of an inspection is negligible compared to the potential expenses associated with repairing or replacing a broken sewer line. The reality is that repairing or replacing a sewer line can cost tens of thousands of dollars. A sewer scope inspection is the easiest and least expensive way to determine the condition of the sewer lines before you move into a new home. By identifying any issues early on, you can make informed decisions and potentially avoid significant financial burdens in the future.
