Missed Asbestos - But still totally worth it before buying

I should have read my (9 star) review from 8 years ago that stated that we chose to add Themal to our Buyer Home Inspection which really increased the cost but I didn't really feel value added for that. Because we did it again, and again didn't get the value added. There was obvious water damage, which was discussed and detailed in the report, but the thermal didn't add any further insight. (I would again say to not get that add on, hopefully I will remember next time.) The general inspection was fabulous this second time and we are very happy with the detail and time spent. We have since been told by contractors that there is wrapping around heating vents which likely contains asbestos, which can be easily seen from the open basement. Am surprised that the inspector didn't catch this, or at least mention it (I think he verbally flagged the popcorn ceiling as a possibility.) Even with that, it is such a valuable service and done so well, I would continue to recommend them. And, as we prep to sell we will be contacting them for a pre-sale inspection as well.

Approximate cost of services:
$900.00
