DO NOT hire this company!…read more We chose Wiemann based on recommendations from our realtor and others who said they were very thorough. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. We purchased our home largely because the inspection they performed came back clean. Just DAYS after closing, we started experiencing major foundational issues--with water literally pouring into the basement. We've had four separate basement and foundation experts come out, and every single one said the issues should have been caught during inspection. We now need $30,000 in foundation repairs. On top of that, our AC unit is too close to the gas line, which is not up to state code and also should have been flagged. We've tried reaching out via email, phone, and text--and have received no response to remedy the issues. Extremely disappointed and frustrated. This inspection will cost us tens of thousands of dollars and enormous stress. Avoid Wiemann at all costs.

We have been house hunting in the Saylorville Lake area for some time now. We ran into Neal the…read moreowner and he told us that he does home inspections and would be happy to help us inspect any homes we are interested in! So we found a house and then had Neal schedule a time to go perform the inspection. He was able to get us in quickly so we could make a decision on the home. He spent a few hours going over the entire house. Then the VERY SAME DAY he sent us a very thorough 40 page inspection report with a ton of information about everything from small electrical issues, to insulation in the attic, to water heater issues including photos of everything! Thankfully nothing major was wrong with this house but he did help save us so much time with issues we would have discovered down the line. Neal took the time to explain everything to us and even worked on our time frame as we are out of state buyers. In the end we were able to use his findings to negotiate the price of the home down by $2000! We highly recommend getting Central Prairie to do your home inspection if you plan to move!

I hired this company to do an inspection and paid for all the extra services (radon, mold, sewer…read morescope). I've owned a few homes so I'm used to fixing things but man, I have been so frustrated with this report (or lack thereof). I moved from out of state and had only 30 mins to look at the house so I really needed a thorough review. I didn't get it. There were items listed as a concern. I get that. But the money I have had to put into a basically new home and only living there now a month and a half infuriates me. He mentioned the furnace filter needed changed. When I say that filter was the nastiest thing I've ever seen in my life, I'm not exaggerating. I don't know how the furnace was running!!! The filter was completely brown and concave. I don't think it was changed once in the four years the family lived there! The guy who cleaned it said it was one of the dirtiest furnaces he'd ever seen. But hey, the report mentioned it was just slightly dirty and to replace the filter. The garage door broke a week into living there. Had to replace the springs and the motor. That wasn't on the report. Goodbye $1k. There's a bump on the master bedroom wall which was never mentioned. I did a moisture reader on it that said 100% saturation. Long story short and a remediation company later, I have a hole in the wall because someone patched the wall with metal. Should have at minimum been mentioned!!! Siding was circled on the house as needing repair. Yeah, there's a whole LOT more pieces loose than what was circled. I could feel them just strolling around the home and touching the siding. I'm not excited to open that can of worms! Went to use the guest shower today (because I have to caulk in the master shower - not mentioned) and the diverter doesn't work. Not even a "little" doesn't work. Over 3/4 of the water going down the drain kind of doesn't work. I feel like every few days there's some new issue that I find that wasn't mentioned. I'm not impressed at all by this company and I would not hire them again. Since writing, have also found the AC is missing several pounds of coolant. (Not even sure how that's possible on a 4 year old unit except not being installed correctly). Shingles were missing. Could see it STANDING on the GROUND!!! Waterproofing doesn't look like it was done on the outside correctly. Siding loose on three sides. Confirmed by builder's contractor. Would not hire!!!
