Leak Detection Services for Realtors in Lincoln & Omaha

In order to get the Closing, timing is everything. You cannot wait weeks and weeks to have an inspection. The Leak Detective gives realtors expert opinion about the severity of a basement water leak. Our leak detection services for realtors will help both sides of the closing too. For the Seller, we often will save them a ton of money off unnecessary drain tile repairs. For the Buyer, we offer peace of mind and confidence the house can be properly repaired.

Leak Detective Help For Sellers

First: We save the Sellers thousands of $$ in unnecessary repairs over “water intrusion specialist”. We rarely find it necessary to install drain tile line, french drains in basements, or expensive sump pumps. We can work with your budget to give you waterproofing solutions at reasonable costs.

Second, we can write expert reports which can be used as a bargaining chip to lower repair valuations before closing. There is nothing worst than having a $20,000 repair estimate consume the equity in your home at closing. Our reports can be used to get additional estimates from qualified contractors, often at a fraction of the cost of “water intrusion specialists”. Our reports can show our expert opinion and detailed description of our testing methodology that shows how the leak occurred and the repairs needed to stop the leak.

Finally, we can really solve the leak - unlike most other companies, which just construct expensive ways to bail out the water. The buyer of your home wants to know you’ve gone the extra mile to make sure the home is water proof for the next 30 years.

Leak Detective Help For Buyers

What is the worst thing that can happen after you buy a home? Finding a leak shortly after closing and not having any way to get the sellers to help pay for the fix. Many times a seller will disclose there were “No Leaks” for the home. Yet, within weeks of purchasing the house, the basement is flooded. The Leak Detective can be a powerful alley in there is a reason to believe the disclosure was not done in good faith. Our investigation methods and documentation can reveal if disclosure is reasonable and accurate, or if there is doubt on the factual nature of the claim. We can show you the signs of previous water damage and give you an understanding of the time it takes for the damage to occur.

Another buyer advantage is the assurance that a house with an existing leak is fixable. Some buyers, after falling in love with a home, are not ready to walk away from a property, because a basement leak was discovered. Those buyers would like to know for certainty whether a leak is fixable or not - or if there are other more serious issues are not in play - IE: A high water table. We can test many different potential problems facing a leaking property and determine if the problem is serious or if its something much more manageable like a maintenance issue that needs to be addressed.

Realtors Refer The Leak Detective More Than Anyone Else.
