Grading and drainage tips to help keep your backyard dry in Arizona

Grading is a big deal! It only rains a few times a year in Arizona, but the water will still damage your home. The quicker we can get the water off of the property the dryer it will stay. I show a few things up on the roof to help remind this homeowner about the roofing underlayment. Then I hop down and walk around the exterior of the backyard to show how water can get trapped and causes damage.

My goal is to help homeowners identify issues and defect, safety updates, and feel more comfortable with the sale process. My knowledge base is growing every day, so it's fine if you call me out on something on my videos. We are all here to learn and be better homeowners, so please share your thoughts and ideas in the comments.

Home Inspector Dan is a certified home inspector by the state of Arizona Board of Technical Registration, Termite Inspector by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, and is a Certified Professional Inspector @ the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. Working alongside industry leaders and constant training has given me the education, resources, and experiences to help you buy your next home. Being employed with BPG Inspections has given me the opportunity to grow and learn from many inspectors across the country.

Home Inspector Dan performs comprehensive visual inspections involving a home’s major visible, structural and mechanical systems for homeowners and prospective buyers. The items examined in a typical home inspection include the plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems, foundation, roof, exterior and interior structures and built-in appliances. The visual inspection culminates in a set of comprehensive, computer generated reports describing the condition of the items and systems inspected. Your digital report with photos will be delivered within 24 hours or less.

According to the National Pest Management Association International, termites cost $5 billion a year in treatments and damage throughout the United States. All BPG inspectors in Arizona are licensed termite inspectors through the Department of Agriculture in Arizona.

I inspect pool and spas for defects, recommend upgrades, and test equipment. Remember, all underground plumbing needs a camera for inspection, a standard home inspection can not examine underground plumbing. I do provide a sewer camera option at my inspections. I have an infrared camera that I use as I see necessary. I can provide specific thermal inspections alongside a home inspection. I also carry a high quality moisture detector that can detect water 2 inches inside of a tile wall for finding those leaking shower walls or pans.

Please remember that my channel is education, I am not a professional tradesman! I am a professional inspector trained in finding defects, identifying safety issues, educating the homeowner and recommending a tradesman to help my client. The repairman will have the most accurate estimates and opinions as they know their industry far better than the typical home inspector.
