The American Society of Home Inspectors is the oldest and most respected association for home inspectors in North America. It was established in 1976 by a group of home inspectors with a vision to build awareness and professionalism in the home inspection field. The association requires upholding high standards of practice and excellence in the profession from all of its members. Membership is an earned credential after passing an extensive written test and performing a minimum of 250 inspections.
Each state has local Chapters which hold monthly meetings for members but is open to any home inspector interested in becoming a member or simply expanding their knowledge of the profession. The NC ASHI Triad Chapter holds a meeting on the 3rd Wednesday of every month and has a guest speaker that can offer valuable information to the industry.

The topics that he touched on ranged from water intrusion and moisture levels in a crawlspace to options for stabilizing a bowing foundation wall. Additionally, he brought to light the best way to make a home as energy efficient as possible and ways to keep a home healthy and mold-free. The home inspectors in attendance were thrilled to have Tar Heel Basement Systems present, as it only broadened their knowledge of these issues and allowed them to offer advice on ways to solve these problems to homeowners.
If you are in need of a home inspection, please visit NCASHI to ensure you have one of the most qualified inspectors in the industry. Once you have a certified home inspection, call Tar Heel Basement Systems to fix any problems that the inspector may have found in your basement, crawlspace of foundation walls.
