Home Inspector in action
Not all home inspectors are created equal. When selecting a Home Inspector good questions to ask are: Does your inspector walk roof tops? Does your inspector measure basement walls. Is your Home Inspector full insured? Is your home inspector licenced in the State of Wisconsin? Does your Home Inspector follow State Law for home inspections? I am fully insured, licenced and I go ABOVE the requirement of WI State Law!
I perform all my home inspections, so you don't have to worry about a random home inspector showing up. During my average home inspection, I inspect over 150 components. I walk roof tops regardless if it is snowing or raining, a long as it is safe. I evaluate and measure basement wall/foundations. I review furnaces, boilers, geo-thermo systems during the home inspection and commercial inspection.

Torch-Down Roof
|
|
Today I'm evaluating a torch-down roof. It’s always very important to go on a roof, during a home inspection. This is something I do differently than many inspectors. This is a unique roof, used on commercial buildings. It is called a torch-down, because after the roofing material is rolled out; a roofer uses a torch to seal the seams. Typically these roofs last about 20 years, this one appears to be 10 years old and needs some maintenance.

Checklist for your Excellent Home Inspection in South Milwaukee
We inspect homes with our standard checklist which covers various services & quality issues in different categories:
Your new home may be the site of a plumbing catastrophe. It may have leaky pipes, a malfunctioning water heater, and overflowing toilets. All of these problems are sufficient to add up to vast amounts of stress that will make your move-in unpleasant. You will have an opportunity to know the routine maintenance needed to keep the house in top condition. We enjoy helping our clients, and the customer service is our highest priority. You rely on a water heater every day for laundry, washing the dishes, and showering. But what if your water heater suddenly stops working? Due to lower efficiency from your fixtures, you may wind up paying more than required energy bills. If there is any leak, you will be paying for more water than you used. There are many ways for new house inspections to pay for itself.

Your sewer line risks experiencing some unsanitary consequences. One of the most significant home purchases, ventilation, the heating, and air-conditioning system require annual inspections to make sure energy-efficient operation. Dirty and neglected HVAC equipment is the main reason for the majority of system failures. Our licensed home inspector enables you to be prepared for costs or issues that may arise during the purchase of your home.
Your electricity runs behind the scenes that offer a variety of modern creature comforts. However, electrical problems are considered the most significant cause of property damage in home structure fires across the U.S. Our property inspection services provide a thorough examination of your entire electrical system, ensuring all electrical wires, components and systems, such as appliances in your home, meet legal safety standards.
Our housing inspections include determining the integrity of a roof, how long it may last, and when it will need to be replaced. A new house inspection in South Milwaukee would detect the missing or curling of shingles. You will see it as a sign of potential water penetration into the home. Our home inspectors in South Milwaukee are equipped with the special procedures wherein they can determine the lifespan of a given roof without tearing into it.
An accessible attic is one of the first areas to be inspected. In South Milwaukee, there are two types of the attic: full and crawl. Our residential home inspections in South Milwaukee attics include the examination of adequate insulation to minimize heat loss during cold winter months. An attic inspection will check that the insulation is in excellent condition and correctly installed in your home in South Milwaukee.
If a home is occupied by standing puddles that stops to drain properly after the last storm, is a sign of poor drainage. It can quickly lead to foundation failure if not appropriately addressed.
Another factor is extreme changes in the water composition of your surrounding soil. If yard goes from wet to dry (or vice versa) too quickly, it gives the expansive soil a chance to place tremendous pressure on your home’s foundation. We’re highly equipped and extremely thorough in providing you with the house inspection tips if you’re planning to buy in South Milwaukee or nearby areas. You can contact us for any such kind of concerns about the structural integrity of your home.

Reviewing an Old Garage Door
|
|
Proper function of a garage door is important for you and your families safety. This garage is older with side mounted springs present. I test the garage door function and verify that there's a safety cable present. In most cases it's very typical that a spring adjustment is needed, which is a low cost item to service, but is still very important to preventing bodily injury and/or property damage. At this home inspection, one of the springs were missing and there was no safety cable present. No matter how small the cost, when it comes to safety, I recommended a specialist evaluate and correct.

I had a great experience with John Balian. He immediately put my wife and I at ease with his and eagle eyes calm demeanor! He was so thorough yet patient with our 20 questions and finger pointing at everything. We are clueless first-time home buyers with a lot of anxiety. John’s professionalism and expertise were exactly what we needed. Turns out the property had far more issues than we expected, so I thank John for saving us from a costly and unimaginably stressful purchase. We learned a lot from the inspection and we will definitely use what I learned on the next houses we look at. And I will make sure to used John on our next inspection. Thanks again!

We loved the easy to navigate report, with the 360 photos, and yes, we received the report the same day. Excellent service and experience!

John Balian did a great job on my inspection. This guy is a first-rate professional. This was an inner city investment, he looked at a house and went through the place like a detective. There was so much junk in the basement, he was still able to find a foundation issues. I later wondered how many inspectors would have even tried move things to measure the walls. This guy not only does a thorough inspection but he has a wealth of knowledge about houses and how things work. You realize your talking to a guy who knows his stuff. I'll be using Amelia’s Home Inspection again.

John was great! Went looking for an investment property and actually rejected the first house after he found numerous concerns. A week later I found another prospect and called John after I had an accepted offer. He did another amazing job. Would highly recommend. Detail oriented, thorough, and professional.

John’s report are detailed and easy to navigate. I use it like a check list every time I’m looking for a to-do. Scheduling and payment was quick and easy. He was also accommodating, especially with the Radon test, when the sellers air conditioner went out. We had plenty of time with our contingency and he came back after the AC was fixed. A radon test requires closing all windows for 2 days, which wasn’t practical on a hot summer day. Within a few hours after the inspection, I had the completed report with pictures of the areas of concern. Overall a great experience. Thanks again.

I really enjoyed experience with John, I learned so much from the process. He had incredible attention to detail, and explained not only what he found, but how to fix it, and how serious of a problem it could be. He worked around my schedule and did a thorough job on the inspection. We got our inspection report the same evening and it was complete and easy to understand. I feel so much more confident buying the home after having worked with John. Additionally, he was pleasant to work with I would recommended him for your home inspection!
