This week, we had the pleasure of conducting a home inspection in Belle Chasse, just outside of English Turn, and what a rewarding experience it was! At Sunshine Home Inspection, we pride ourselves on taking a scientific approach to our work, and this inspection was a shining example of why it matters. The home we inspected had excellent drainage around the property, a key factor in maintaining long-term structural integrity.
Led by an owner with a degree in meteorology, has a deep understanding of how geological and hydrological factors impact homes in the New Orleans area. With our expertise, we always look beyond the surface to ensure that any issues related to water flow, soil stability, flooding or climate-related concerns are properly addressed. We love to study more and more. And so does LaHouse at LSU. This is an actual house that was constructed in a bunch of different ways and with a lot of different materials. It’s all designed to study the home and come up with the scientifically best way to construct a house in South Louisiana. We commonly visit LaHouse at LSU and learn as much as possible.
As many homeowners know, water is the number one enemy of a house. It sneaks in through poorly graded yards, inadequate gutters, or foundation cracks. Once it finds its way into a structure, it can cause wood rot, mold growth, foundation shifting, and a host of other problems that can quickly escalate into costly repairs. That’s why proper drainage, like the system we found in Belle Chasse, is such a big deal.
At Sunshine Home Inspection, we offer more than just a standard checklist. We integrate our knowledge of meteorology, geology, and hydrology into every inspection. This scientific focus is not something you’ll get from just any inspector. For us, ensuring that water is properly managed around a home is a critical part of the inspection process, giving our clients peace of mind.
