WELCOME TO "UNDERSTANDING YOUR HOME"
This is not your typical Do-It-Yourself website about remodeling, retrofitting, home improvements, home renovations, home tips or on how to fix things. Though some of these subjects will be dealt with, the emphasis of this site is more on how a pre-purchase building inspector will look at a house. So, on this web site you will find some basic information about your home such as construction, early warning signs of future problems, repairs, preventive maintenance and conserving energy.
Articles and illustrations are copyrighted by Mark Visser, a Building Inspector for over 25 years. See also "About Us." For a more detailed subject index click on any link on the far left.

Sorry for the mess, this site is always under construction
New pictures will be added weekly. Articles will be updated regularly. So, in other words, this site will always be under construction.
Please feel free to contact me if you find a broken link or missing illustration.
Thanks for visiting and please come back often.
