A professional association for home inspectors with a large library of consumer articles about houses, moisture and maintenance.
InterNACHI describes itself as an association of home inspectors, and its website holds a large library of articles about houses, from roofs and foundations to moisture, mold and radon. Homeowners often find those articles while researching a damp basement or a musty crawl space, and the site also helps buyers look for inspectors in their area. Nashville owners who want a neutral explanation of terms may find its guides a helpful companion to a waterproofing visit.
We are an independent waterproofing company and are not part of InterNACHI. We use its public articles as background reading and send you to the official site to read them yourself. When an inspector or an article raises a question about your basement, we are glad to look at the home, explain what we see and suggest sensible next steps.
