Preston Sandlin of Home Inspection Carolina recently used a Rigid See Snake to find out where a plumbing leak was in the ceiling od a Charlotte home. The advantage of this is that we did not have to tear out the whole ceiling to find out where the leak was. The new RIDGID® SeeSnake® micro™ Inspection Camera allows you to perform detailed visual inspection in hard to reach areas. Its comfortable pistol grip design and forward facing controls make it easy to detect and diagnose the unreachable. Available with a 17mm camera head for general use or a 9.5mm camera head for up-close visual inspections in tight spaces, the SeeSnake micro Inspection Camera provides solutions whenever and wherever you need them. http://www.homeinspectioncarolina.com

Pulte has come out with a new product; pultrim. Watch this video by Preston Sandlin of Home Inspection Carolina in Charlotte to find out all about it. Here’s something you dont see every day: Pulte Homes, who developed their own integrated exterior home trim system, has decided to partner with their manufacturer, Tecton Products, and licensed the rights to market and sell their product, Pultrim, outside of Pulte communities.

Pultrim is designed to replicate detailed wood and aluminum exterior trim and gutters. According to the manufacturer, the material properties of the fiberglass pultrusion and the Tecton-patented Durion acrylic coating contribute to a low maintenance system that looks crisp and beautiful for years. And, unlike many siding products, you can paint it.
