Homes Fort Mill SC

Have you ever driven by the old Jim and Tammy Bakker built “Hertiage Towers”? The towers are located in Fort Mill SC Regent Park off of US Hwy 21. Is the tower an eyesore for nearby Fort Mill home owners or a diamond in the rough for future senior citizens? If you have not seen Heritage Towers, you’ll find a high rise tower located in what seems to be an odd location for such a tall 21 story structure. There is a fence around the building shielding anyone from falling bricks off of the building. Basically the tower and some areas around the tower look like an un-kept, decaying,  unfinished safety hazard. Read the rest of this Homes Fort Mill Post →

Home inspections should include the use of Thermal Imaging.

Infrared Thermography (IR), or more commonly referred to as Thermal Imaging, is a technology developed for use by the Defense Department; however, it provides a tool that has become very powerful for other industries, especially the Home Inspection industry. In years past, IR cameras were prohibitively expensive; only recently have the costs of the technology become low enough to be feasible for use by home inspectors, etc.

An IR camera basically takes infrared energy given off by an object and converts it into colors visible to the naked eye. This technology is very advanced, but the use of the camera is very basic. The colors shown by the camera can, with a little interpretation, represent temperatures of an object, or in this case components in a home. It is in understanding what these temperature differences can be caused by that becomes invaluable in a home inspection. Read the rest of this Homes Fort Mill Post →

Save yourself money in the long run by getting your future home inspected.

In years past, most people did not have their homes inspected before they bought them; you accepted the home “as-is.” In recent years, it is more common to have the home inspected by a licensed home inspector prior to closing. If you choose to save a few dollars now by not hiring an inspector, you will be at risk when you sell the home later. Read the rest of this Homes Fort Mill Post →
