Lack of Maintenance and Knowledge: Garbage Disposals Misused and Improperly Installed

Garbage (food waste) disposals are popular kitchen appliances. Unfortunately, many homeowners are not well informed on how to use them. In addition, disposal replacement or installation is a task often performed by persons who either don’t follow instructions or have little understanding of proper plumbing principles.

The Board of Directors or How Things Work in ASHI

I would harbor a guess that a majority of our members do not know exactly what ASHI’s Board of Directors does or how it functions. I would like to share with you my perspective formed from serving on the Board from 1989 until 1997 and returning for my current three-year term, 2011 until 2014.

ASHI Reporter March 2013, Report from the President

Are you an Innovative Home Inspector or Just Hanging on?

The past image of today’s home inspector as a person only skilled in the basic inspection procedures is one that will not get you into tomorrow’s market. The successful home inspector in the year 2013 and beyond will be a home inspector who is a master of many talents, a person who combines an impressive array of skills to serve the needs of today’s homebuyers, sellers and yes, Realtors®.
