I've inspected thousands of homes in Massachusetts and I have seen almost every defect that you could imagine. Allow me to assist you in remediating known issues that you may encounter as a home owner.<br><br>
Please enjoy my Blog and its resources.

Throughout my years of inspecting, I have learned that all new homes will have their defects of one kind or another, regardless of the quality of construction or the integrity of the builder. This is because human imperfection prevents anything as large and as complex as a home from being constructed flawlessly.<br />
The belief that any new product is free of defects and necessarily flawless runs contrary to common sense and experience. The return counter at any department store provides ample evidence of this fact. When applied to new homes, the belief that new means perfect can lead to very costly mistakes.<br />
<br />
Many home buyers feel that they do not need to employ a professional home inspector because municipal building inspectors regularly inspect new homes. Let me personally tell you that a municipal inspection is not enough. The purpose, scope, time allotment and procedures are not the same for municipal inspections as they are for home inspections on the behalf of Buyers.<br />
<br />
Home Buyers need to understand that many building inspectors are seeing over 12-15 homes a day and are inspecting primarily for code compliance's, and not for quality of workmanship. They can cite a builder for improper structural framing or for non-complying drain connections, but a poorly fitted door, improper installation of components, unprofessional installation of wiring, an uneven tile counter top and shoddy finish work are not on their list of concerns. Municipal inspectors rarely inspect an attic or a sub-area crawlspace. They come to the job site with a clipboard and a code book, not with a ladder, high-tech tools and overalls. Construction defects in such areas can escape discovery.<br />
<br />
Municipal inspectors typically inspect a roof from the ground or possibly from the builder's ladder. From these perspectives, roof defects are not always apparent.
Municipal inspections are performed before the utilities are turned on, so municipal inspectors cannot determine if the appliances and fixtures work. They don't test outlets for ground and polarity because this can be done only after the power is turned on. Nor, without power, can they test the performance of GFCI or AFCI safety breakers. Because there is no water or gas yet, municipal inspectors can't test plumbing fixtures such as sinks, showers, tubs and dishwashers, or gas fixtures such as furnaces, fireplaces and water heaters.<br />
<br />
The municipal inspector is not looking at specific construction practices that tend to determine if a home is going to be a trouble-free investment or one that will require significant modification and repair in the future. As I previously mentioned, they are primarily code compliance inspectors. In the past, I've always picked up on many building or safety infractions that municipal building officials had totally ignored. I've never performed a newly constructed home inspection that was totally flawless. Your home inspection report will always contain a list of items that need to be corrected. There is no perfect home. So, a professional home inspection on a brand new home is always beneficial. As one municipal inspector has stated in the past..."What we do is a cursory inspection, we do not check everything. That is not our job. We don't even warrant the work. We are going to look for the big stuff." The keyword here is "BIG STUFF". My question is.....How do they find the BIG STUFF on a simple cursory inspection?<br />
<br />
Another interesting fact is, anyone who has worked in the construction field can tell stories of the shortcuts and human errors that routinely occur, even on the best built of homes. Workmen have bad days, materials can have defects, details can be overlooked, components can be omitted, and municipal building inspectors can have too little time to check every nook and cranny within the house.<br />
<br />
So the choice is yours. If you still would like to take chances on waiving your home inspection on your newly constructed home, I seriously think you're making a big mistake and I honestly wish you the best of luck. There is a lot of shoddy construction out there and the construction errors I find on a daily basis is absolutely astonishing. Massachusetts Home Inspections will identify those shoddy installations on-site and then prepare your professional report for you the same day in-hand and to your iPhone.<br />

<h6>
<u>INFRARED (THERMAL) IMAGING</u></h6>
<p>
This optional service is totally amazing. I basically utilize my infrared camera to detect hidden issues behind the finished surfaces of your building. If there are finished walls or ceilings in the living areas, basement or attic that are situated on the exterior shell of the structure, my IR camera can detect insulation voids or concealed issues that can be revealed without destroying or removing the wall/ceiling material. It’s simply an infrared imaging and measurement camera that can actually "see" and "measure" thermal energy emitted from an object. I can then map out and interpret these thermal readings which can reveal serious issues that cannot be seen by the naked eye or with any conventional or digital photography.</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.massinfrared.com" target="_blank">Infrared Scanning</a> - $150.00 an hour ($150.00 for a <a href="http://www.massinfrared.com/files/sample_IR.pdf" target="_blank">professional IR report</a>)</p>
<p>
</p>
<h6>
<u>DRUG TESTING</u></h6>
<p>
Yes, you are reading this correctly. I can actually test your prospective home for drug residues within the structure, to detect whether or not previous home owners have ever made, distributed or used specific drugs in that particular home in the past.</p>

<br />
Many homeowners will always have questions regarding their new home,
so I have dedicated this portion of my website to homeowners who simply
want to "KNOW THEIR HOME". I also strive to keep all my home inspection
clients fully informed on just about any concern that would typically
arise during their home ownership. This comprehensive list of articles
are also printed within my comprehensive Manual (Know Your Home), which
every home inspection client will receive with their Home Inspection
report. If you are unable to locate specific information pertaining to
your home, please <a href="mailto:davevalley@comcast.net">email me</a>. I'll gladly research your
concern and add the information to this web page.<br />

<b>LEAD - WHAT IS IT</b></div>
Lead has been mined, smelted, and compounded for thousands of years.
Lead is a neurotoxin metallic element that was historically used in
paints, gasoline and plumbing materials for many years. Lead was easy to
work with for a variety of purposes, which is why mining and smelting
of lead has caused millions of tons to be spread into our environment.
Lead poisoning occurs only when too much lead accumulates in the body.<br />
Generally, lead poisoning occurs slowly, resulting from the gradual
accumulation of lead in bone and tissue after repeated exposure.
However, it is important to note that young children absorb 50% of a
lead ingestion while adults absorb only 10%. Pregnant women should be
especially cautious of lead exposure. The presence of lead dust can
cause difficulties during pregnancy. Lead enters the bloodstream and can
pass the placental barrier from the mother to the unborn child. The
fetus can then be poisoned before birth.<br />
Lead is very dangerous for children under the age of six because it
is absorbed more readily into their blood and stored more easily in
their bones and internal organs. Lead can be absorbed by the body,
primarily through the lungs and stomach. If a child is overexposed to
lead it can cause disastrous consequences including the possibility of
irreversible brain and nervous system damage. Lead poisoned infants,
children, and fetuses can suffer from permanent learning disabilities,
behavioral problems, hearing problems, developmental delays, reduced
hand-eye coordination and other serious health conditions. Even children
who appear healthy can have lead poisoning. If you think your child or
other family members may be at risk, contact your physician or local
health department for testing, immediately.<br />
<br />
<b>WHERE CAN LEAD BE FOUND?</b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">HOUSE PAINTS</span> - Most houses built prior
to World War II had lead-based paints applied to the interior or
exterior surfaces of the home. It was used until 1978, when it was
banned by the EPA. Some of these lead paints still remain inside older
homes today and may be particularly hazardous if this paint is in poor
condition (chipped or peeling) or if disturbed by sanding or abrasion
(creating toxic lead dust).<br />
Lead was used in paints because it lasted forever in the environment
and it never broke down into a harmless substance. The amount of lead in
paint was reduced in 1950 and further reduced again in 1978. Houses
built before 1950 are very likely to contain lead paint while houses
built after 1950 will have less lead in the paint. Some house paints
sold today have very low levels of lead and are considered
environmentally SAFE.<br />
<br />
<div id="center" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Lead paint that needs immediate attention</b></div>
<div id="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<img align="bottom" alt="lead paint" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://www.masscertifiedhomeinspections.com/files/lead.jpg" /></div>
<br />
Lead dust is released from chipping and peeling paint; home
renovation projects that disturb lead paint; and lead paint ground up by
friction, such as on window sashes, floors, thresholds, stairs, etc.
Because young children naturally engage in hand-to-mouth activities on a
daily basis, they are more likely to accidentally ingest loose or
blistering lead paint. Over many years, surfaces in your home that are
painted with lead paint usually crumble into household dust that can not
be seen visually. This lead dust clings to toys, fingers and other
objects that children normally put into their mouths. This is the most
common way toxic lead can accumulate into your child's blood system.<br />
<br />
<div id="center" style="text-align: center;">
<img align="bottom" alt="eat or ingest lead paint" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://www.masscertifiedhomeinspections.com/files/lead-bite.jpg" /></div>
<br />
Children also get dangerous lead levels into their bodies by chewing
on lead painted surfaces such as window sills. Some young children will
even eat paint chips that are peeling or chipping. The taste is what
makes them come back for more. Believe it or not, Lead paint taste
sweet, so children and pets are attracted to the taste of lead paint. In
accordance with Massachusetts law, any unit or single family home with
an occupant who is less than six years old must be deleaded by an EPA
Lead-Safe Certified professional.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: blue;">TESTING FOR LEAD PAINT</span></b><br />
To determine the presence of lead in paint, dust, water, and soil is best done by trained professionals.<br />
Professional testing companies use three basic methods to measure lead in paint:
<br />
1) X-ray fluorescence (XRF) uses portable detectors that X-ray a
painted surface to measure the amount of lead in all the layers of
paint. This type of testing is performed in the home and disturbs
little, if any, paint and is highly recommended.<br />
2)On-site chemical testing of paint samples involves removing samples
of paint from surfaces to be tested, usually from an area of about two
square inches. These samples are then chemically tested for analysis.
This method leaves an ugly bare spot on each surface tested and is not
recommended by Massachusetts Home Inspections. The Federal government <u>does not</u> recognize this type of lead paint testing for anything more than a screening tool and <u>does not</u>
allow chemical spot tests to be utilized in any federal housing
inspections. Professional X-ray testing for lead in paint (See #1) is my
only recommended testing method.<br />
3)Spot checks are performed with small swabs. A deep cut is made on
suspect lead surfaces then a swab is wiped over this surface. Lead paint
will turn this swab (and area being tested) into a pinkish color. Swabs
<u>do not</u> tell you how much lead is present and their reliability
at detecting low levels of lead has not been determined. Professional
X-ray testing for lead in paint (See #1) is my only recommended testing
method.<br />
If you are seeking a professional lead inspection in order to obtain a
Certified Certificate stating that a specific home is free of Lead
paint, <b>I <u>do not</u> issue lead Certificates.</b> You must contact a <a href="http://yellowpages.superpages.com/listings.jsp?SRC=promo14&channelId=142691&sessionId=6668527608313052445&C=Lead+Abatement+Removal+Services&STYPE=S&L=MA&EG=0&MC=1&OO=1&F=1&EEM=1&CP=Business+%26+Professional+Services%5EEnergy+%26+Environment%5EHazardous+Materials+%26+Waste+Services%5ELead+Detection+%26+Removal+Residential" target="_blank">Lead Abatement company</a>
from your area. Before you hire any lead paint contractors or lead
paint testing firms, please make absolutely sure that your hired
contractor is Lead-Safe Certified by the Environmental Protection
Agency. <br />

<tr>
<td><span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">Despite efforts to reduce lead in the
average American home, the Department of Housing and Urban Development
estimated that as of December 2004, 38 million homes in the United
States still contained lead paint to some degree. HUD also figures that
25% of the country's residential buildings contain significant
lead-based paint hazards. That's about 24 million homes with either
deteriorating lead-based paint or lead-contaminated dust.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">In 1992, the Lead-Based Paint Hazard
Reduction Act required disclosure of known lead hazards at the time a
house is sold or leased, if that home was built before 1978. (Houses
built before 1960 are classed as high risk and are almost certain to
have at least some lead-based paint.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">Problems with the 1992 act stem from
the lack of testing in many older homes. If you purchase an older home,
the interior and exterior need to be tested thoroughly for the presence
of lead-based paint before you can occupy the home safely.</span></td></tr>

Lead Pipes</h1>
<span style="color: blue;">LEAD CAN ALSO BE FOUND IN DRINKING WATER</span>
<br />
<a href="http://www.masscertifiedhomeinspections.com/?D=74" target="_blank">DRINKING WATER</a>
- is another potential source of lead. This is usually from lead in
solder, fixtures and lead water supply piping in the home. Some supply
water pipes in homes built before the 1930's were made of lead,
especially the main water supply pipe that penetrates the foundation of
the home. In both old and new homes, lead solder was also used in copper
piping. Both of these can be a source of lead in your drinking water. I
will be visually inspecting all accessible water supply piping within
your building and any lead piping that is found (especially at the
foundation penetration), will absolutely be noted and highlighted in the
PLUMBING section of your inspection report.<br />
<br />
<div id="center" style="text-align: center;">
<b>A variety of lead pipes</b></div>

<br />
Please do not confuse galvanized water supply piping for lead supply
piping. Lead piping will have the distinctive ball connection at the
connection to the water meter.<br />
