Mild or not, there's still time to check your furnace. Winter has been pretty mild in Bourbonnais, Illinois and all across the mid west this year. In fact, there are areas suffering from severe flooding as I write this post. There are a few things that are worse than a furnace acting up in the mi...

Where should 2016 marketing money be spent? Great question. Home Inspections in the Kankakee Bourbonnais Bradley Illinois area have been dominated by a very small number of inspectors for years. We are a rather odd kind of market. Very close to Chicago with a very definate rural surrounding. Ofte...

Five Years Ago Today Everything Changed, For the Better.10 minutes to save your life. Doesn't seem like much time does it? But it was the difference in me being here today or my wife planning a funeral. Dec 10, 2012 at 1:25 AM in the morning I woke to an incredible crushing pain in my chest. I sa...

Time for the annual tune-up of Old Smokey? You better believe it. There are a few things that are worse than a furnace acting up in the middle of the winter, but for the life of me I can't think of any right now. Your furnace needs an annual checkup and now is the best time to get it done. Waitin...

The Creature from the green lagoon. What a great movie title. I'm now thinking it would only be great in Hollywood, not on my home inspection. I was recently inspecting a home in Kankakee, Illinois and while inspecting the roof, I saw something floating in the pool that I have not been able to id...

Call SLS Home Inspections today...

Best of the Worst- my new TV show. It's going to be huge. Filled with all the craziest, wackiest, zaniest, nuttiest, cookiest and of course, stupidest things ever seen in a home inspection. Here are just a few. Hover over the picture for a witty comment. What do you think? I've got a million of t...

No good deed goes unpunished. But sometimes you have to wonder why bother doing a good deed. I just finished a home inspection and the buyers agent stopped by just as I was wrapping up with the buyer client. She asked if there were any major issues. There really weren't any major issues, but I me...

Why wait until today to tell your Mom... How much you learned from her How many times you knew she was right but you had to do it your way How hard it was to admit she was right and you were wrong How she made you the person you are today How much you enjoy spending time with her How you are goin...

Why do I love the rain? I'll tell you why. Every time I schedule an inspection and the day of the inspection arrives with a forecast for rain or worse yet, it's actually raining, I get a frantic phone call from the client, the client worrying that their inspection just has to be cancelled because...
