What Does Your Inspection Include?

Our 17-page report evaluates the condition of the home’s heating system; central air conditioning system (temperature permitting); interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, exterior, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors; the foundation (basement/ crawl space), structure, and garage.

The inspector will also offer recommendations on how to improve the home's systems; increase life expectancies of units to reduce surprises on your bill; and specific maintenance information about how to maintain your new home.

The inspector will review the report with you and provide you with the original copy at the end of the inspection. You will also be given a cell number so you can contact the inspector if you have any questions when you review the report.

What Should I Do?

RELAX! Between all of this information, the seller's disclosure list, and what you notice yourself, you should expect to feel a little over whelmed BUT you can also feel assured that you are making an informed decision!

The issues that really matter fall into four categories:

Major defects such as structural damage problems.

Problems that lead to major defects, such as small roof-flashing leak.

Problems that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy, or insure the home.

Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.

Problems in these areas should be addressed immediately. Often a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property.

Why Can't I Do It Myself?

Even the most experienced home owner lacks the knowledge and expertise of a professional home inspector, who has inspected hundreds of homes. The inspector is familiar with the elements of home construction, their proper installation, and maintenance. He or she knows how the home’s systems and components are intended to function together, as well as why they fail.
