 WELCOME to the ALASKA HOME INSPECTORS FORUM

Our Forum has lots of discussions on issues concerning the construction and condition of houses and other buildings in Alaska. The licensed Alaska Home Inspectors, Energy Raters and other members of this forum are available to answer questions about buildings and building science including the condition of buildings, what to expect from a home inspection or energy rating, how to maintain a home, building safety and energy efficiency.


This site was developed and is partially sponsored by the Alaska Chapter of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).  The Alaska ASHI Chapter holds its monthly meetings on the 2nd Thursday at 9:00am at Jitters Coffee house in Eagle River Mall, 11401 Old Glenn Hwy.  Anyone interested is welcome to attend.  Please RSVP to Jim Foss, President @ 522-2378 or email  Jim Foss  if you would like to attend.  Check the site calendar for updates.

 
 SO.....WHAT is a HOME INSPECTOR?
Alaska Home Inspectors are private, professional inspectors licensed by the State of Alaska to perform visual, non-invasive inspections of houses.  These inspections are usually performed to inform a client who is buying a house on the condition of the house.  This information can then be used to determine if there are repairs that the client wants to be repaired before or after the real estate closing.  Inspections are also performed for sellers wishing to prepare their homes for sale and for home owners wishing to keep their homes in top repair.
