Rumor has it that Arizona termite inspectors (like myself) will soon fall under the authority of the AZ Department of Agriculture. AZ termite inspectors and other pest control professionals are currently licensed and regulated by the Arizona Structural Pest Control Commission.

What is a HomeXraySM?
A HomeXraySM is a scan of your home using a special infrared thermal imaging camera. This infrared (IR) camera detects very small temperature variations in your home’s components, even in hidden areas such as behind the walls, above the ceiling and beneath the floors. These very minor temperature differences often reveal ‘invisible’ problems which cannot be seen with the naked eye, and would not be found with just a traditional home inspection. Some people refer to this technology as "seeing through walls" or "X-ray Vision". While neither of these analogies are technically correct, in many cases a HomeXraySM can help the Inspector "see" problems that would otherwise not be visible.
Why do I need a HomeXraySM?
A HomeXraySM takes your home inspection to the next level! While a good home inspector can detect a wide variety of problems without "seeing inside the walls", a standard home inspection has limitations because it's a visual inspection. A HomeXraySM is an inexpensive, non-invasive and non-destructive method of finding hidden problems that would otherwise go undetected. Often times, a HomeXraySM can find a problem in its early stages before there are visible symptoms, making it easier and less expensive to repair. Much like a medical x-ray can help a doctor to diagnose a problem inside your body without doing exploratory surgery, a HomeXraySM is a quick and painless way to find certain types of problems that can be hidden within your home’s walls, floors and ceilings. But even a HomeXraySM has limitations, and it takes much more than a special IR camera to "see through walls". Just like it takes a trained Radiologist to properly interpret your medical x-ray, it takes a trained Thermographer to properly interpret your HomeXraySM. Rest assured that when you order a HomeXraySM from Homewerx, your Inspector is also a trained, experienced and Certified Thermographer.
The U.S. Dept. of Energy recommends having an infrared scan done before purchasing a home because even new houses can have defects in their thermal envelopes.
What types of problems can a HomeXraySM reveal?
A HomeXraySM can find several different types of hidden problems, including:
Is a HomeXraySM part of a Home Inspection?
A HomeXraySM is not included with your home inspection - it's an additional service. You can order a HomeXraySM by itself, or with a home inspection. You may also choose to have a HomeXraySM of your entire house, or we can do a HomeXraySM of one specific area where you suspect a problem. It's up to you! Of course, you can save money when you order both a home inspection and a HomeXraySM at the same time!
Do I get a report with my HomeXraySM?
Yes! The Inspector also prepares a comprehensive, typewritten report which explains the results of your HomeXraySM and includes several color photos. The report is EASY-TO-READ and understand and contains maintenance advice plus other helpful homeowner information. Reports are usually emailed the next day, but can also be delivered by fax or regular mail.
How much does a HomeXraySM cost?
The price of a HomeXraySM depends on several factors: the size of your home, whether you want a HomeXraySM of the entire house or just a certain area, and whether you order your HomeXraySM with a home inspection or by itself. But for a limited time, when you order a home inspection from Homewerx, you can get a HomeXraySM for an additional fee of:

ATTENTION: REALTORS, SELLERS & BUYERS!
Beginning September 25th, Homewerx Home Inspections will be offering Arizona Disclosure Reports. Under a new Arizona law (H.B. 2779) effective September 21st, sellers and listing agents can greatly reduce their liability for disclosures by obtaining a "disclosure report" prepared by a third-party provider. To qualify, the disclosure report must must be based on officially adopted governmental maps, and must include disclosures on the following 9 conditions:
While it is not mandatory, it is recommended that all sellers provide these reports to their buyers. However, disclosure reports are also available to buyers if the seller or builder does not provide one.
It's important to understand that the Arizona Disclosure Report does NOT replace the Seller's Property Disclosure Statement (SPDS) or other disclosures the seller is required to make! However, the new Arizona Disclosure Report contains information in 9 areas that sellers don't usually know much about. The new law basically says that if they obtain one of the new third-party disclosure reports, sellers & their agents will not be held liable for errors or ommissions in the disclosure report, unless they know the report to be incorrect and fail to disclose the correct information. In other words, the liability for the disclosure of those items is shifted from the seller/agent to the third-party provider of the disclosure report.
EDR-Certified!!! Arizona Disclosure Reports are available for as little as $89.00, so there's no reason to assume unnecessary liability when selling or listing a home!
Arizona Disclosure Report - $89.00 (Available in Maricopa & Pima County only)
(Sample AZ Disclosure Report)
This report discloses whether any of the 9 conditions listed above are known to be present within 300 feet of the property. This report meets the minimum requirements of Arizona's new disclosure law.
Neighborhood Environmental Report - $129.00 (Available in all AZ counties!)
(Sample Neighborhood Environmental Report)
If you order the Neighborhood Environmental Report, you will receive BOTH the Arizona Disclosure Report and the Neighborhood Environmental Report. In addition to disclosing whether any of the 9 conditions listed above are known to be present within 300 feet of the property, this report covers a much broader geographical area and also discloses known/potential contamination sites beyond 300 feet. Certain hazards are disclosed in this report if they're within a mile of the property (see distances below). This report also contains additional information that the Arizona Disclosure Report does NOT contain, such as whether there are any known meth labs in the area. Below is a list of the types of known/potential contamination sites disclosed in the Neighborhood Environmental Report:
1. Leaking underground tanks (within 1/2 mile)
2. Landfills (within 1/2 mile)
3. EPA Final Superfund sites (within 1 mile)
4. Water Quality Assurance Revolving Priority Fund Sites (within 1 mile)
5. EPA Proposed Superfund Sites (CERCLIS) (within 1/2 mile)
6. Arizona Superfund Program Sites (within 1 mile)
7. State Hazardous Waste Sites (within 1 mile)
8. Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage & Disposal Sites (within 1/2 mile)
9. Clandestine Drug Lab Sites (within 1/8 mile)
10. CDC Environmental Health Assessments (within 1/4 mile)
11. Active Department of Defense Sites (within 1/4 mile)
12. Former Department of Defense Sites (within 1/4 mile)
13. Manufactured Gas Plants (within 1/4 mile)
14. Radioactive Material Activity Sites (within 1/4 mile)
Commercial Disclosure Reports also available - Please call for pricing and other details.

An Air Duct Inspection is a visual inspection of the inside of your air ducts. For this type of inspection, the inspector uses a specially designed video camera which can be extended up to 100 feet inside the air ducts. The inspector and client can then view the inside of the air ducts on a small TV monitor. This type of Air Duct Inspection is helpful in identifying conditions that affect both your cooling system's efficiency and your family's health. Some conditions that can be diagnosed by an Air Duct Inspection are:
Cracks in the air ducts are of particular concern in homes with a sub slab return system because these types of cracks can increase the potential for high levels of radon gas.

Because there are many inexperienced Home Inspectors in Arizona, choosing the right Home Inspector is essential. Here are a few tips:
You are not required to attend your home inspection. However, if at all possible, you should be present! If you are not able to attend the entire inspection, you should at least try to show up at the end of the inspection. This will allow you to meet with your Inspector and discuss his findings. Although you will receive a detailed report, it is always easier to understand a problem if you can look at it while it is being explained.
The inspection is also a great opportunity to become familiar with the home's various systems, locations of shut off valves, electrical boxes, etc.
Home inspections are usually scheduled 3-5 days in advance, although we're usually able to accomodate last minute emergencies.
In Arizona, you usually have 10 days from date of contract sigining to get your inspection done and give the sellers a list of any disapproved items. However, each contract is unique so you should always discuss the timing of your home inspection with your Real Estate Agent or attorney.
A home inspection usually takes 2-3 hours. However, it all depends on the age and size of the house, as well as the home's condition and features. Vacant homes usually take less time to inspect than occupied homes.
ASHI® stands for American Society of Home Inspectors. It is the most widely recognized national organization for Home Inspectors. Prior to licensing in Arizona, ASHI® set the standards for home inspections. In fact, the Arizona Board of Technical Registration adopted ASHI® Standards as the state guidelines for Arizona Home Inspectors.
An ASHI® Member must meet certain experience requirements, in addition to passing a written test. ASHI® Members are also required to observe the ASHI® Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. ASHI® is still the standard in most places, with or without licensing requirements. Most Real Estate Agents won't even use a home inspector that is not an ASHI® Member or Candidate.
As of 1 January 2003, Home Inspectors must be “certified” by the Arizona Board of Technical Registration in order to perform home inspections in Arizona. Additionally, Certified Home Inspectors are required to maintain either Errors & Omissions insurance, a bond or other adequate financial assurance. (ARS 32-122.02)
Please be assured that all Home Inspectors employed by Homewerx Home Inspection are in compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes regarding registration and certification of Home Inspectors. Additionally, the insurance coverage our company maintains exceeds the new minimum requirements. You may verify Home Inspector compliance or obtain more information by contacting the Arizona Board of Technical Registration at (602) 364-4930 or by visiting their website at http://www.btr.state.az.us.

A home inspection is a visual assessment of the readily accessible components of the house. The items that are inspected will vary from state to state and inspector to inspector. In states with licensing requirements, such as Arizona, the regulating authority will set the minimum standards (what must be inspected and reported on). In non-regulated states, most good inspectors will join an industry organization and follow their standards.
The most well known industry organizations are the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), the National Association of Home Inspectors (NAHI) and the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI). However, there are several other smaller ones like the Housing Inspection Foundation (HIF). The Standards of Practice, whether created by an industry organization, the State or both, are the minimum guidelines for home inspectors. The AZ Standards of Practice covers most of the major components of the house, and it describes what the inspector must inspect and what the inspector is not required to inspect. If you have a specific concern about a system or component in the home you are having inspected, ask the inspector before the inspection if it is covered and to what extent. Do not assume that something will be covered in the inspection, especially if you have concerns about it.
Termite inspections and wood destroying insect inspections are not usually included in a home inspection. While many home inspectors are also qualified to inspect for termites, it is usually a separate inspection and additional fee. Some home inspection companies claim to include a termite inspection for "FREE" with each home inspection, but rest assured that nothing in life is "FREE". Those companies usually charge about $50-$75 more for a home inspection, so the termite inspection is not really "FREE", it's just already included in their higher than average home inspection price.
Environmental issues such as mold, radon, lead-based paint and water quality are all outside the scope of a standard home inspection. Sometimes these items can be evaluated by the home inspector, but they are not part of the home inspection. Separate tests are required and additional fees will usually apply.
As I said earlier, a home inspection is a visual assessment. Systems will not be dismantled and no destructive testing will be performed. Items that are concealed behind finishes, furnishings and below the ground are not considered readily accessible. If significant deficiencies are present, further investigation by a specialist or contractor may be necessary. A home inspection is NOT a warranty or guarantee of any type.
If you have any questions about what is and is not covered per the state requirements, please visit the Arizona Board of Technical Registration. Since Homewerx Home Inspections exceeds the state's minimum standards, please give us a call or comment on this post if you have any questions about what is included in your inspection. We'll be glad to answer any questions you might have!

There are many methods that can be employed to reduce radon levels should your home test above the EPA's action level of 4 piccocurries per liter of air (pCi/L). Those methods can include crawl space ventilation, vapor barriers and sub-slab depressurization systems to name a few. The method used (and the costs involved) will be determined by the radon level and the type of construction of the house. Please remember that all houses are different and the approach used to reduce radon levels should be determined by the specific conditions of the house.
The most common type of construction we see in the Phoenix area is slab on grade foundations. However, some of the older homes and manufactured homes in the valley have crawl spaces. Some slab on grade houses have the return air ducts for the HVAC system located beneath the slab floor and can be an entry point for radon. A house with below slab return ducts will most likely require a different approach to radon mitigation then a house without these ducts. High vacuum pressures can be generated in below slab ducts that can result in radon laden soil gasses being drawn in and circulated throughout the home by the heating and cooling system. For more information on mitigating radon in houses with below slab ducts visit the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency.
However, for most slab on grade homes, a soil depressurization system will be used. This type of system consists of 4 inch piping and a ventilation fan (see pictures above). The pipe penetrates the concrete floor and is exposed to the soil beneath the house. A depressurization fan installed in the vent pipe creates a vacuum and draws the radon into the venting system. This pipe is then routed above the roof line where radon gasses can be safely vented. This type of system can be contained inside the wall structures of the house or installed on the exterior of the house.
As with any mitigation system, it is recommended that a qualified contractor be consulted and radon testing be conducted before and after the installation of any product to insure that radon levels have been reduced.

Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over the United States. It is created naturally by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon typically gets trapped inside your home by moving up through the ground to the air above, then into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Radon can also get into the home through well water. Once inside your home, it becomes part of the air you breathe or the water you drink. Depending on ventilation and other conditions inside your home, the radon concentration may pose a serious health risk to your family. Radon is invisible, odorless and tasteless so the only way to know your home's radon level is to test for it.
Most people feel safe when they are at home and don't worry about getting radiation exposure from their house. But according to the Environmental Protection Agency, home is where you and your family are most likely to get your greatest radiation exposure because it's where you spend most of your time. In fact, the EPA estimates that radon causes 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the U.S. each year. This makes radon the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. today, second only to smoking. And if you smoke plus have high radon levels in your home, your risk of lung cancer is extra high.
The EPA says one out of every fifteen U.S. homes has an elevated level of radon (4 pCi/L or more). Furthermore, radon can be a problem in any home - new house or old, well-sealed or drafty, basement or no basement and regardless of the home's geographical location. It's not possible to predict radon levels based on state or local radon measurements, nor can you rely on radon test results taken in other homes in the neighborhood.
If your home's radon level is 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher, the EPA recommends that steps be taken to reduce the radon level. Radon mitigation contractors may use a variety of techniques to reduce your radon level. Sealing cracks and other penetrations in the foundation may be part of the solution, but sealing cracks alone is not enough. A system of vent pipes and fans may be installed in the crawl space or another location in your home, creating a "sub-slab depressurization system". This system draws the radon gas through the vent pipes, preventing it from entering the home from below the concrete floor or outside the foundation. Radon mitigation contractors may also use other methods depending on the design of your home and other factors. While it sounds complicated and intrusive, these systems generally do not require major changes to your home, and repairs can usually be accomplished for around $800-$2500. Even in homes where the radon level is less than 4 pCi/L, radon may still pose a risk and in many cases, can be reduced.
While radon cannot be eliminated, the radon level in your home can be minimized. Testing for radon is the first step. The EPA recommends a radon test for anybody that is buying, selling or building a home. The EPA also recommends testing your home after any major renovations, or if you change your living patterns (i.e. you begin occupying a basement level that was previously not used much). You should also re-test your home after having radon mitigation features installed to be sure that radon levels have been reduced.

....because an ounce of inspection is worth a pound of repair!
One day as I arrived at my inspection, I was greeted by an excited home owner. He immediately started to talk about the "clean up" and how they were lucky. A little confused, he led me into the kitchen where I saw the charred remains of the microwave oven, black soot on the ceilings and walls, and crispy cabinets.
It turns out that the night before the inspection, they went to clean the oven (they said that it was on my behalf, so I would have a nice clean oven to look at). A candle was left on the oven (not intentionally) and they left the house. When they returned, they found the fire department and the entire neighborhood in their driveway to greet them.
Luckily for the homeowner, a passer by spotted flames through the kitchen window and called for help. This quick action from a total stranger saved their house from burning to the ground. I guess there are still some good Samaritans in the world.
I guess what I am trying to say is watch your oven in the cleaning cycle. Remove all objects from inside and on top of the unit, and it is even wise to pull it out away from the wall and cabinetry.
Although this was an accident, it could have been avoided by taking a few precautions. I'm just glad they still have a house to sell.
A Pre-Sale Inspection, also called a Pre-Listing Inspection, identifies potential problems prior to listing the property for sale. This type of inspection usually saves the seller a significant amount of time, money and frustration!
Most buyers will have an inspection and may want defective items fixed. Even if your home is fairly new and well maintained, a good home inspector will find several dozen defects during an inspection. This can cause delays in closing, or could possibly even blow the deal if the seller refuses to make repairs. SELLERS BEWARE!!! On average, buyers negotiate TWICE the cost of repairs during a real estate transaction! Having a Pre-Sale Inspection before you list your home can ensure maximum sales price and minimize the time it takes to sell your home.
By having a Pre-Sale Inspection and making necessary repairs in advance, sellers are much more likely to receive full market value for their house. Even if the seller decides not to make all, or any necessary repairs before putting the house for sale, just knowing what issues are likely to arise can help keep you in control of the transaction.
A Pre-Sale Inspection may also aid the seller and Seller's Agent in minimizing liability and complying with state law, by disclosing defects. To further limit liability, sellers may also want to consider ordering an Arizona Disclosure Report or a Neighborhood Environmental Report.
Knowledge is power! Schedule a Pre-Sale Inspection today!
