General Home Safety Tips

Smoke Detectors - test them monthly and as an easy reminder date replace the battery when adjusting the clock for day-light savings time.

Garage - when the garage is attached to the house reduce the chance of carbon monoxide from entering the home by sealing cracks in the adjoining walls & weather-stripping the entrance door into the house.

Lighting - ensure there is adequate lighting leading up to and at the access points into a home.

Rigid Foam Insulation - ensure this insulation is removed or covered with the appropriate fire retardant material.

Exit Doors - install dead bolts & proper patio door locking devises on all exit doors. Ensure they can be opened manually from the interior. Avoid installation immediately adjacent to glass.

Garage Door Openers - a garage door with an automatic opener should either stop or reverse itself if there is an obstruction in its way or it is given slight resistance. If this is not the case consider repairing or replacing the unit.

HOME INSPECTIONS

Reduce the stress.

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest decisions of your life! With all that's at stake, it's crucial that you're fully aware of the condition of the major systems and components before you buy.

A Grassroots® Inspection is an objective examination of your prospective building and/or property to assure you that its condition meets with your approval before you close your real estate transaction.

COMMERCIAL INSPECTIONS

No one likes surprises.

Whether you own, are about to lease, or, are purchasing a building, don't wait to find out what condition the building's systems & components are in.

Knowing the condition of a building will allow you to budget more accurately and provide for expenditures down the road -- whether it's a new roof, HVAC or simply maintenance related items.

ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTIONS

It affects us all.

Today, more and more people are concerned about our environment. It affects us all…at home, at work or simply everywhere you go. Naturally, there are the health concerns that stem from environmental issues, but there’s also a financial side to it as well. It includes the potential healthcare costs for individuals, employees, employers and the likes, as well as the financial liability and responsibility for those responsible for the creation and clean-up relating to those environmental concerns.
