MOISTURE METERS are an essential tool for all home inspectors today. Stains or evidence of moisture seepage can be tested to see if the leak is active. However, experienced inspectors will be cautious with regard to drawing conclusions on moisture testing. Just because no moisture is found does not mean that there is no active leak or seepage. It it not enough to rely on moisture meters alone. All factors should be checked. The owner or the seller should be questioned about the condition, because they are the ones that have spent time in the house and would be likely to know its faults.
Michael Rowan is the founder and president of AmeriPro Inspection Corporation.
After spending nine years in the United Kingdom in the building inspection profession, carrying out thousands of inspections and gaining his charter building inspection certification, Michael moved to the United States in 1994 to rejoin his family and set up his own building inspection company. In an area where building inspection was almost unknown, he saw the immediate need for a company with trained professionals dedicated to honesty, integrity and professionalism.
His goal was to build a company on the backbone of high ethics, one inspection and one inspector at a time. His commitment to training has led to what he believes is the best team of inspectors in northeast Florida.
After an exhaustive analysis of residential property transactions, Michael realized, from his experience in home inspections, that AmeriPro Inspection Corporation would grow quickly when based upon a good reputation for delivering quality inspection services and customer satisfaction.
Backed by a solid inspection team with even more residential inspection experience, Michael developed his own inspection report system, which is now used not only by AmeriPro but many other inspection companies around the country.
Ameripro has not only achieved its success through Michael's personal commitment, but also through the select team of home inspection experts which he has assembled.
Some of Michael's Credentials Include:
Certified Member of The American Society of Home Inspectors
Certified Member of The Florida Association of Building Inspectors
