According to StateMaster, about 8 percent of American homes on average are manufactured. South Carolina has more than…

Should You Educate Home Inspection Customers About Crawl Space Insulation?

Continuing EducationBy ICA SchoolOctober 6, 2017

Every homeowner knows (or should know) that attic insulation is critical to energy efficiency and comfort.

Home Inspection Tips for Fall Landscaping Issues

5 Wet Basement Fixes That Almost Never Work

Continuing EducationBy ICA SchoolSeptember 18, 2017

A wet or flooded basement is anything but convenient and no homeowner wants to face the serious price tag of repairing one. When it comes to trying to fix a wet basement, many homeowners are not aware that certain “fixes” are actually not addressing the root of the problem. If you’ve tried any of these…

Continuing EducationBy ICA SchoolSeptember 15, 2017

Wood-burning stoves might seem like simple appliances, but numerous problems can lurk that put the health and safety of the homeowner at risk.
