I always recommend potential buyers spend the few hundred dollars to have an inspection performed, so as a homeowner, why would you want to bother with one? A pre listing home inspection can also help alert you to any big red flags in the home that are in need of repair. Knowing about these issues before you list means you can address them ahead of time, protecting the value of your listing price. Mike Holmes Inspections

Cali was super excited to visit the Resideo booth at The International Builders' Show (IBS). I get it Cali, one app that allows you to manage your air, water, security, and energy - well, that’s smart! #ad

One of the houses I worked on with my son a few years ago tested positive for radon gas. We installed this device called the Radostat, which connects to your heat recovery ventilator (HRV). It senses your indoor air quality and actually kicks the HRV into high speed and initiates an air exchange if it senses a peak in the radon level. Once the radon dilutes into the outside air, it's not a health risk.

The well water also tested positive for radon, so we installed a system called Airwell to rid the water of this dangerous gas.

We were renovating this house for a family, so it was important to us that we built a healthy home. It's not just about the new appliances and nice finishes. It's about building it right. Radon Environmental Management Corp.
