There was confusion regarding the checking of the water heater. Jon went back and cleared up the incident. Jon did a though inspection with written report and many appropriate pictures.

Jon came and inspected a new build for me last week and his son did the sewer scope portion and they both did an excellent job. Jon is so knowledgeable and takes pride and takes his job seriously and you can tell loves his job. He was extremely patient with me being totally in the dark about all things to do with homes and even took extra time to show me things and teach me about my home.

I can't recommend Jon highly enough. He was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. As a homebuyer, having someone who not only identified potential issues but also helped me put them into perspective gave me a much more grounded and informed approach to making such an important decision.
