The first thing that stood out to me was their prompt service. We were able to schedule on my time, which was very convenient. The inspector was thorough and called my attention to details I hadn't noticed. I really felt as though the inspector treated me like his daughter, trying to see everything that could go wrong and document within his report, including pictures. Now that an issue has arisen, I'm even more grateful to have used Sage Home Inspections. Norm came out in person to look at the dishwasher and referred me to an excellent company to begin the repairs. I am beyond grateful to have selected an ethical business that treats their customers like family.

The inspectors looked at every nook and cranny, and they also gave me some insights into what the results actually mean - what were major issues, what were normal maintenance issues, etc. The report they wrote up was extremely detailed. I didn't compare quotes so I can't speak to the price.

Edit in regard to their response: They did not explain that their services covered the condition…read moreof the pipe on the day of inspection (that was never a conversation). You know why? They didn't need to! That was never under question! I never stated conditions worsened, only that they failed to note any water intrusion from a joint ON THE DAY OF INSPECTION because it was CLEARLY IN THE VIDEO that Superior Sewer and Pillar to Post provided. All they needed was a note in their inspection report stating: water intrusion from joint at x ft from the cleanout... I don't care if they recommend a fix or not, their inspection didn't note it. Now onto the regular report: They really don't think they missed anything, I'm impressed! A non-operational grill (due to a bad igniter) is not the same thing as leaking natural gas! Now that they are disputing that part of my review, let's list some of the other things that they missed: a leaking shower valve (separate from a leak they noted in their report), a non-functional AC unit (wall unit), two saddle valves in use that are not up to code, a foundation crack and some drywall cracks (foundation crack was behind a flower plant, so I don't entirely blame that on the inspector, and I'm not mentioning other cracks because they were behind items they aren't supposed to move). Additionally, I paid extra for use of the IR/thermal camera and they were supposed to use that in a very specific way in accordance with their own Standards of Practice (SoP). Specifically, to check for loose connections in the breaker panel the process is: take the front panel off, turn on a high load appliance such as an AC unit, and take a reading with the IR camera. They took a reading with the front panel on (so no useful thermal measurement was taken) and no high load appliance was running. There is no way now to know if there was a loose connection or bad breaker during the time of inspection. Any inspector worth your money would use a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of air coming from air registers to ensure an appropriate temperature drop when the AC is running. They did not do that, hence the broken AC unit that was missed. A lot of the things they missed on the regular inspection report I didn't blame them for missing. I've had way more time than them to find problems, but their response to some criticism is what really makes this company the worst. Original: I hired them (and they hired sister company, Superior Sewer) to perform a sewer lateral inspection. They missed a break in the lateral that cost thousands to repair. I got the line rooted and part of the line had so much water intrusion that the rest of the line couldn't be rooted (water was saturating the 6 inch line). This was clearly visible during their video inspection and they didn't even note it in the report (not quite as much water, but still a waterfall in the lateral line). They refuse to acknowledge they missed anything stating water intrusion in clay joints is "normal". I agree that ground water seeping in is no big deal, water POURING into the lateral, which was happening during inspection, is NOT normal. They refuse to acknowledge any fault or even refund the cost of the inspection despite the fact their miss cost THOUSANDS of dollars. Don't use them. They also missed a number of things during their standard inspection and, during their Gas/mechanical inspection, they missed a natural GAS LEAK in the grill.

We have had FRS completely 2 major projects for us this past year and have been happy with both…read moreprojects. While nothing about French drains or foundation repair is fun, exciting or cheap; we knew we had to get some of this work done to our home due to some minor flooding/cracks in the foundation. After doing some research and asking for bids, we decided to work with FRS since we knew they would do a thorough job and offer a nice warranty for their work. Not to mention how everyone we worked with was super helpful and friendly and they explained lots of things to us in ways that we could understand. When you are going to spend $$$ on something as massive as a french drain and foundation repair, you really want to make sure you have some of the best people to work with and FRS was it for us. Earlier this week, we had Dylan and Sam out at the house so they could work on the side to help us with drainage and repairing the foundation. I really have no idea how this is done, but they managed to do it in just under 3 days and took great care of the yard and our neighbors yard while they were working so they did not make a mess or damage anything. Knowing that these giant house repairs have been completed, I know that our house will be taken care of we won't be experiencing any more damage. I know they will come out again in the future to just check in to make sure everything is still working correctly and I feel secure knowing they will take care of anything thanks to the warranty they offer on their work.

Last night we had our first heavy rain and our basement is dry as a bone for the first time in 12 years. A big THANK YOU to Foundation Recovery for taking such good care of our situation. No more worries & Let it rain

I will say that I was NOT impressed. Yes the inspector was super friendly but because the house…read morewas only 3 years old, I felt he did a rush job because he knew he didn't have to look to hard. My problem is that he missed a few items and for the price you pay, I guess I expected more. For instance, the vinyl siding was cracked along the bottom of the back side of the home as well as. This was not even called out in their inspection report. In fact, a picture taken of the downspouts and included in the report showed the cracked damage. So the damage was right in front of their eyes and they didn't even see it to include it in their report. This company came recommended by our real estate company (Delhougne Realty Group - DRG). However, if I had to do this again, I would seriously think twice about using this inspection company.

I paid BPG $1,530 for a home inspection including a gas safety inspection. After purchase I…read morediscovered a gas leak you could smell the moment you opened a closet door, plus plumbing problems that cost $12,000 to fix. They charged $225 specifically for gas safety and missed an obvious leak. Several significant plumbing issues were also either missed or not flagged clearly. I understand plumbing is not all visible, but I would have appreciated it if they noted to me that the water shut-off valve is completely non-functional. When I reviewed the fine print, I found the liability is capped at the inspection fee and complaints must be filed within 14 days, making it nearly impossible to seek recourse after the fact. To their credit the report is transparent about being a visual-only inspection. But for $225 you think they'd give it a sniff at least?
