Pest Control in New Albany, OH

What do the basements of the planned homes need?

The large planned homes have full poured basements, many finished. The walls are checked where they are visible, the sill is read at the joint and the moisture is recorded at the lowest points. Finished areas are noted, and any section that could not be reached is listed.

Irrigation near the foundation is noted, because the watering schedule is part of the moisture condition the walk reads.

How are the Georgian-style homes sealed?

The Georgian-style homes have large symmetrical facades, many windows and deep soffits. The sealing list is built around the frames, the soffit vents and the sunny faces, and the corners where the caulk has opened.

The garage door seal and the wall between the garage and the house are checked, because both can carry insects into the living space.

What do the decks, fences and beds on the lots need?

Decks, fences and steps on the planned lots can rest on the ground, and those wood-soil contacts are the first things the inspector marks. Landscaped beds against the foundation are checked for the mulch depth and the watering.

The report recommends lifting or clearing each contact, and the homeowner decides with the landscaper or the builder how to do it.

How does the business park change a New Albany visit?

The business park is a large commercial district, and houses near it may see activity from a building next door. The visit notes any sign that seems to come from outside the property and records where it appears to start.

A home visit does not assess the business park. Where the source is outside the property, the report says so.

What about the two counties?

New Albany spans Franklin and Licking counties, and the report records the correct county for each address. The licence check is the same across the line. Give the full address at booking.

How do the walled subdivisions affect the outside walk?

The walled subdivisions have fences and gates that the technician has to plan around, and the walk is booked with access in mind. The fences are checked where they meet the house, because a fence post in soil is a wood contact the report records.

The white fences are often attached to the house, and the joint is checked for gaps and soil contact.

New Albany’s walled subdivisions often have a pool house and a shed with their own wood contacts on the ground. Those are checked as part of the lot, and the report lists each one with its distance from the house.
