The House Call Program: Make Your House a HomeSafe Home

IR inspector

As a House Call program member, you will always have a knowledgable and helpful friend in HomeSafe. With our far-ranging network of experienced and highly trained home inspectors in more than 20 states nationwide as well as South Africa and the Philippines, HomeSafe has inspected tens of thousands of homes around the world. Every inspection is an opportunity to gather important data to help keep homes in good condition and improve overall livability, from basic maintenance problems to more complex issues such as safety hazards, indoor air quality and energy loss.

Using this data acquired over many years, combined with findings from laboratory studies and the latest research in building science, HomeSafe has developed standards and protocols for investigating, diagnosing and solving a wide array of problems.

No more feeling helpless. No more guesswork. No more taking chances. When you're faced with a home-related problem you can't solve, your House Call Program membership pays off for you. Rather than face the problem alone, you will have access to friendly, helpful experts with the know-how and the tools to pinpoint the problem's cause and to help you find the right solution every time!

Consider the Facts:

  • An average of 2,096 children under 15 die each year as a result of an unintentional home injury
  • Home injuries cause 21 million medical visits and nearly 20,000 deaths each year.
  • About 45 percent of children's injury-related deaths occur in or around the home. Leading causes are house fires, suffocating, drowning, falls, choking and poisoning.
  • Falls are the leading cause of death, injury and trauma-related hospital admissions for senior adults. In 2003, more than 13,700 adults age 65 and older died as a result of a fall.
  • Hidden moisture is a house's worst enemy. Moisture wreaks havoc on the house's structure and creates adverse health conditions through mold growth and decay.
  • A 1999 Mayo Clinic study showed that nearly all chronic sinus infections are a result of molds.
  • A 300% increase in the asthma rate over the past 20 years has been linked to molds.
  • The average home can be responsible for nearly twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car.
  • The average U.S. household spends about $1,900 each year on energy. Energy efficiency improvements can potentially reduce this bill by several hundred dollars annually.

    That's the HomeSafe Pledge: Peace of Mind for Home Owners.
