What does a home inspection in Trooper include?
Bob approaches every Trooper inspection per ASHI and InterNACHI Standards of Practice. With 1950s–1970s housing stock dominant in Trooper, Bob pays particular attention to the era-specific issues that affect late mid-century and early modern construction in Montgomery County.
Split-Level Foundations & Below-Grade Moisture
Split-level and bi-level homes from this era feature below-grade family rooms and garages that create unique moisture challenges. Bob inspects for water intrusion at the below-grade/above-grade transition, foundation wall efflorescence, and settlement where additions meet original construction.
Aluminum Wiring, Polybutylene Plumbing & Early AC Systems
Aluminum branch circuit wiring (1965–1973) is a fire hazard at connections with copper devices. Bob checks every accessible connection point. He also evaluates polybutylene plumbing — prone to sudden failure — and early central AC installations with undersized ductwork that can't handle modern cooling demands.
T-111 Siding, Flat Roof Sections & Deck Ledger Boards
Homes from this era often feature T-111 plywood siding that swells at edges, flat or low-slope roof sections over additions, and deck attachments that may lack proper ledger board flashing — a leading cause of structural deck failure. Bob inspects all of these high-risk areas.
Insulation Standards, FPE/Zinsco Panels & Carpet Over Concrete
Many 1960s–1980s homes have Federal Pacific (FPE) or Zinsco electrical panels — known for breakers that fail to trip during overloads. Bob checks panel brands and evaluates inadequate insulation by modern standards, carpet-over-concrete installations in below-grade spaces, and early cathedral ceiling construction.
How does mold testing work in Trooper?
The split-level and bi-level designs popular from the 1960s–1980s create specific mold risks, particularly in below-grade family rooms, attached garages, and areas where early insulation traps moisture against foundation walls.
Below-grade family rooms with carpet over concrete slab — trapping moisture underneath
Split-level design transitions where water infiltrates at grade-level changes
Early insulation pressed against foundation walls without vapor barriers
Undersized ductwork creating condensation in humid summer conditions
