If you have a septic system, this is likely the kind of set up you have. It’s also important to note that your septic tank should be pumped every 3-5 years. And NEVER flush anything but toilet paper (and poo of course!)

THIS FUN FACT FRIDAY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY Kody Pinkowski at KP Inspection Services!

🧙‍♀️🏠 EVER HEARD OF A WITCH’S CHIMNEY? 🧙‍♀️🏠

Check out what we found during an inspection! 👀

Years ago, people called crooked chimneys like this a “Witch’s Crook” or “Witch’s Bend.” According to folklore, witches could only fly in a straight line, so putting a bend in the chimney would stop them from flying down into the house. 🧹🧙‍♀️

Pretty cool story…but the real explanation was usually a little more practical. 😂

Builders would start the chimney from the fireplace and build their way up through the house. By the time they reached the attic, sometimes the chimney didn’t line up exactly where they wanted it to exit the roof.

So, in 1800s-builder terminology:

“Ahhh…f*ck it. Curve it.” 😂

And the mason would offset the chimney to get it where it needed to go.

What looks absolutely crazy today can actually be a piece of old-school craftsmanship and building history. 🔨🏠

That’s one of my favorite parts of inspecting older homes—you never know what kind of history you’re going to find hiding in the attic.

With all of the rain we’ve had recently, it was no surprise that we’d be booking a lot more mold assessments than normal. Today was 3 mold assessments, all working from our office on wheels! Complete with our own power source, all of the materials and tools for sampling, as well as a bluetooth printer and shipping materials to get your samples out faster. This way we can get results back from the lab faster. Allowing us to provide you with answers and valuable information with less wait time.

The first assessment was a “faint odor/musty smell” that we were able to track down to a bathroom vent fan that was improperly installed leading to mold growth on the drywall and in the attic space above. There we used our borescope camera to see through a small hole, into the attic as there was no attic access.

The second mold assessments had us using our sewer scope to assess the condition of drainage pipes in the bottom of window wells.

The last assessment had us using our thermal imaging camera to check for water damage/moisture in a basement.

We use state of the art equipment, tools and technology at our disposal to provide you with the best service possible.

(We also made a new friend with this cute lil puppers)

Every day I’m reminded how fortunate I am to have a career that leads me all across the Hudson Valley and Capital Region. Inspecting my way through an almost 200 year old home, like this one today in Hudson.

The rooftop view was priceless. And a rare selfie so you get to know the face behind all of the posts and providing excellent inspection and mold assessment services.

After another busy week of home inspections and mold assessments, taking the time to read a great review really makes it all worthwhile.

I started this company because I was once a first-time homebuyer myself. I remember how valuable my home inspectors were and how much confidence their knowledge and guidance gave me throughout the process. That experience inspired me to use my own background and expertise to provide the same level of service to others.

Our goal is simple: deliver clear, thorough inspections and easy-to-understand reports that help clients make informed decisions with confidence. It’s that commitment to education, communication, and quality service that has helped make us one of the most trusted inspection firms in the area.
