I do see that masonry cleaning/chemical wash (the prep work) - "may require an air pollution control permit from the Environmental Permitting and Inspections Section of the CDPH"And then digging further I see there's also a separate Architectural Surface Cleaning Permit could be required.Anyone have experience with this?

We've trained our housekeeper to maintain, clean, balances & test chemicals, but there are services that do it weekly/monthly.In my personal experience, I've only rented homes on my ski trips that offered hot tubs...and Paul Sandhu can teach you how to build one!

Unsuitable land areas are usually pretty obvious: swamps, bogs, or parcels that are near nuclear power plants or chemical retention ponds.

My tenants are told to call me before doing anything if they see the bugs.I would buy bedbug mattress covers for everyone in the building and handle the chemical treatment or heat treatment costs since it’s a multi.

Tenting the house is worthless...the termites can move back in as soon as they chemical treatment is done....

Unfortunately, if/when you do find out that your well has some type of contamination - coliform, nitrates, and ground industrial chemicals like benzoate are common - you might be legally, or ethically, on the hook to do something about it.

My name is Alex Boyd and I am 20-year-old Chemical Engineering student attending college in Southwest Michigan.

It has a chemical reaction to oxygen so when it reaches the leak it permanently seals the hole. 

I'm a chemical engineer and my partner is a software developer, so although we're in technical fields, I feel like we don't have any useful transferrable skills that help us determine the quality of a building.

Never had an issue but am told (the house is professionally managed) that maintenance on it is intensive between checking chemicals in the water, maintaining the water levels with heavy use (and water temperature by extension since it takes 24 hours to heat up to normal operating temp after refilling), filters, hair, other cleaning etc etc etc
