• Visual
inspection of plumbing supply lines and drains
Homeowners don't normally look under their sinks,
behind their toilets, or at the water supply lines
for their washing machine in order to inspect for
leaks, odors, or mold growth.
Why this inspection? Broken water
supply lines and plugged drains cause millions of
dollars a year in damage to homes in Central Iowa.
This simple assessment could prevent costly water or
mold damage in your home and protect your indoor air
quality.
• Visual
Inspection of the Heating and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system We'll check all components that
are accessible including filters, blower fans,
heater box, condensing coils, registers, main plenum
(above the intake register) and ducting where it
connects to the registers.
Why have your Heating and Air Conditioning inspected? HVAC systems
collect air borne contaminants that can affect your
health like pollen, and mold.
Cleaning home air ducts helps improve your indoor air quality
by removing built up debris. Research has discovered
that the coils and drain pans will become contaminated
sooner than the air ducts and must be cleaned
frequently to help maintain your air quality. If the
heating and cooling systems
coil and drain pan are accessible, our
technician can show you how to clean them. The
technician may also advise you on replacing or cleaning
your HVAC filters.
• Visual
inspection of all flooring in the living area of the
house including carpet, tile, hardwood, linoleum,
and laminate The technician will look
for stains, warped wood, and loose baseboards
because they could be signs of hidden water leaks or
excessive moisture in the slab or in your crawlspace.
This can
damaging your house or degrade your indoor air
quality. The technician will also assess home maintenance issues
because dirty carpet and soiled flooring contribute
to airborne debris.
• Moisture
meter testing, concentrating on possible problem
areas that are identified during a visual inspection
of the walls or other areas of the home A
non destructive moisture meter provides real time
information about the surface and subsurface moisture in
the building materials that make up your home. The
technician will also check the relative humidity of the air
inside the home.

referrals to other qualified companies Klootwyk
