Carbon Monoxide

Here at the beginning of the winter heating season, consider having your existing home's furnace inspected by a qualified technician. And strongly consider installing a carbon monoxide detector in your home. As a part of your Complete Home Inspection when you're buying or selling a home, we'll thoroughly inspect the furnace, giving you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that everything's functioning as intended. If you're not in the home buying or selling process, consider getting a furnace check-up anyway.

One of the most amazing things about doing Kansas City home inspections for the last 20 years has been the number of unsafe furnaces Complete Home Inspection has found in homes that were currently occupied. The homeowners were completely unaware that their health was in daily jeopardy. Improperly vented and rusted out furnaces are not just inefficient, they're dangerous. Every year about this time, you'll hear stories about families or individuals that were overcome by the build up of carbon monoxide in their homes. Now's the time to make certain that one of those stories won't be about you.

Mold Testing

As you refinance your current home to take advantage of lower interest rates, you may be asked to have a mold test done as part of the process. Just give us a call and let Complete Home Inspection take care of the mold test for you. You can have either a swab test done where we swab visible mold in your home, or have an air quality test done. Either way, results are usually available from the lab in only two days. You'll find out if you have mold in your home and what type of mold it is. Plus, Complete Home Inspection will give you some tips on what to do about any mold we find.
