This Type of Duct Wastes Energy AND Money

Our Fort Worth inspector found “grayflex”-type insulated flex duct in this 1980s Arlington home recently. The early versions of insulated flex duct were marketed too soon, because the defects didn’t show up until hundreds of thousands of feet of it were installed in attics all over the country. As you can see from the video, with attic heat and exposure to minimal amounts of UV light, it begins to shred and then fall apart.

We find it often in early 1980s homes, and we recommend our Clients consult a heating and cooling specialist, BEFORE THEY DECIDE. Take a look and see how energy-efficient you think a house would be with this installed.

As first time buyers, my fiancé and I were initially very nervous and unsure of the inspection process.
Adam took time to thoroughly explain the process and made simple recommendations as we walked through the house. He was very professional and patient with our questions!
The report was detailed and easy to read. We presented the home owner a copy to make negotiations- he commented how thorough it was and wished he used your services years ago when he first bought the home! We are very pleased and thankful for your services- happy to recommend you to friends and family.

"We would like to commend Adam on the thorough job that he did at our home inspection.
“Adam found a very small leak that many people would have missed. When this leak was tracked down, it was determined to be either in or under the slab. Exactly what we did not want.
“We turned the house down.
“The value of your service was outstanding because it saved us many thousands of dollars, as well as the time and headaches it would have cost to repair the leak.
“We certainly will using House Exam for our future inspection needs."

Thank you for this unusually thorough inspection report. I’ve had a number of inspections run in Texas and California, but yours is easily the most thorough I’ve ever read. As an out of state purchaser, the inspection is that much more important since I can’t see the property first hand, and you have helped us significantly. If you ever need an out of state reference, I’d be very pleased to describe what a great job you’ve done for us.
Best regards,
