Beware of Pelorus Upon our arrival to meet the inspector…read more He had already gone through most of the home. We asked how things were and his exact words the home is very clean, No issues from what he could see I ask about specific items and again No issues. It's a really good home. Here is what happened next.... We trusted this company to provide a thorough and professional evaluation of the home prior to purchase, but unfortunately, several serious issues were not identified in their report. Most notably, we discovered a rodent infestation in the attic, which poses both health and structural risks. (Rats & Flying Squirrels)This issue should have been clearly visible and documented during the inspection process. The presence of droppings, signs of nesting, damaged and chewed electrical wires and insulation. No mention in the inspection. We recognized Pelorus is not the expert with regard to rodents but we would expect any basic full home inspection would at least call out what was visible to the eye. There were also several active entry points for Rats, Squirrels, bats and other wild life, that were apparent upon further review by a pest control specialist. And our own eyes. In addition to this, we have identified other hazardous conditions that were not called out in your report: 1. Electrical Panel Risk? The panel was flagged by 2 different licensed electrician as insufficient and not in code due to 1. its history of recalls & a serious fire hazard, due to not having a surge protection or tripping feature. This inevitably will cause the unit to run "hot" and cause a potentially dangerous situation. This was a significant safety concern that should have been noted. 2. Master Bathroom Tub Not Sealed or mounted to Floor. This is very dangerous in that it is easily movable and could cause an accident while attempting to take a bath. This is a basic item that should have been observed and reported. Their reputation to provide "Certified & KnowledgeableInspectors" was not what we received. We trusted that they would stand by their brand & make this right. These oversights caused us considerable inconvenience and unexpected expenses. We trusted & relied on your expertise to assist us in making an informed decision about the property. However, the lack of attention to these critical issues has undermined our confidence in the home that we have purchased. We requested a formal response to the complaint, including an explanation of how these items were missed and what steps their company will take to address this matter. We also asked that they review their inspection procedures to prevent similar oversights in the future. We provided several photos for review. We had planned to make some small non structural changes to the home and then move in.... Well as we got into a few areas this is where these issues became blatant. We invited Roland out to the home to take a look at our concerns, he came out and spent the entire time looking for an opportunity to turn this story around and report us to the city inspector. Roland called me to not apologize for the oversight but to say I see your construction is larger than I expected. Send me a copy of your permit otherwise I will report you to the city. As noted earlier no plans for structural changes. They came out we showed our basic work and permits for replacing plumbing and Electrical only. Roland then sent a letter essentially giving us an opportunity to sign off on receiving $150 refund in exchange to sign off on dropping any further or future claims. Of course we did not agree. I'm not sure how they received 5 rating on google, my guess is folks just don't have time to bother with this fight. It's taken us at least 4-5 months to share our experience. I would definitely not recommend this company.

We had an unfortunate experience with this inspection company. We purchased a home that was…read morerenovated by the seller just prior to listing. After we moved in, we discovered by chance that the upstairs hall bathroom was still connected to the old plumbing system and had not been connected to the new plumbing system that was installed during the renovation. Luckily, one day after closing on this house, our exterminator was inspecting the crawlspace at the same time that the cleaners were running the hall bathtub and found the water to be gushing into our crawlspace (see photos). We notified the inspector and seller, who was able to send their contractor quickly to repair the issue. The inspector, Jack, was professional during our inspection but missed this abandoned pipe in our crawlspace and the water that would have gone directly into the crawlspace if he had run the bathtub. Unfortunately, this company is calling this a "latent defect" and denies our request for a refund of the $500 inspection fee. It is the responsibility of the inspector to check at a minimum that when a bathtub is run, the water is not draining directly into a crawlspace. We are super disappointed in the company's response as they are not taking ownership of this blatant miss and using fine print to avoid responsibility. My hope is that this does not happen to someone else who may not be as lucky to catch this huge issue so quickly!

Prior to me purchasing my home, Bill, his son and his daughter came out to complete my inspection…read more I thought I was getting great service because of the number of inspectors and his son used a drone. Turns out I was wrong . I had to mention items to Bill that were obvious issues (like a defective window and a bedroom door that would not close properly. Fast forward... we closed on the house and then find out caps were still on the master shower drain and the laundry room drain. Bill's son came and removed the caps (had to drill through one of them). Next, the roof over our basement door started leaking and there was a puddle in our basement everytime it rained, and our gararge is next to the basement entrance, so the garage wall had water damage which eventually turned caused mold. Bill's son took responsibility because his dad was out of town and no longer responding to my calls. Bill's son attempted to fix the roof and brought over sheetrock to replace the wall that had mold on it, however the roof continued to leak and the wall was never replaced. They both eventually stop answering and returning my calls. A lot of things were missed due to their oversights.

I asked for a refund for the mold inspection, but instead of taking responsibility, they brushed it off--claiming the mold could've developed later and that they weren't responsible because it was a "free service" done through another company. That's misleading, since every paid inspection package includes this "free" mold check and costs more because of it. They also failed to mention the 125-day mold warranty until I brought it up myself. Mistakes can happen, but how a company responds matters--and Champia showed zero accountability. I would not recommend them.

I hired Jamere after I closed on a rehab (I purchased the house as is) after the kitchen was gutted so we could see what was behind the walls and under the tiles. He found a laundry list of items that were not in my original report from another inspector and ranked the items of most importance. We started the inspection with my brain dump of dozens of questions and observations that I had made about the property. He did not rush me and answered ALL of my questions which were all over the place. Labrador is a rare find and the quality of work far exceeds the price point. Hire them today!
