What Is Included in a Home Inspection?
A "typical" home of 2000 square feet and average condition will take 2 hours of on-site time. We input the report into the computer at our office, not wasting your time waiting on site. We guarantee 24-hour (usually less) turnaround time with the computerized report complete with digital pictures e-mailed to you.
This visual inspection will include a non-destructive survey of the following:
• Structure (Exterior, Interior, Attic, Basement/Foundation,
& Crawl Space)
• Roofing
• Electrical, Plumbing, Heating & Air-Conditioning
|
|
We Also Check For:
• Water Problems
• Wood Rot & Other Damage |
• General Condition of Interior/Exterior Surfaces
• Equipment Condition & Operation |
*Please note that with a non-destructive, visual inspection it is difficult if not impossible to find all problems. An example of this would be water damage from a previous leak in a bathtub. There may or might not be water stains in the ceiling below. Possibly the ceiling has been painted or the space below is not accessible (another condo). We probe the wall to check for "spongy" conditions, check the condition of the caulk, the drain function, etc.
What You Receive after Inspections & Tests:
• A Written Report (Computerized with Digital Pictures) That Includes a Checklist of All
Deficiencies
• Summary of Major & Safety Deficiencies E-Mailed to You within 24 Hours of Inspection
• Verbal Summary Given to You at the Inspection—No Waiting
Value Added
Most inspection companies do not offer carbon monoxide or gas leak testing or if they do, you are charged extra. We feel strongly that they should be part of the inspection and include them in our fee. Our additional services include:
• Moisture Detection–We test any area for moisture that we suspect moisture may be present. This could include areas where watermarks are found on the wall or floor. We also spot check areas that have proven to be of concern in past inspections such as around bathtubs as previously discussed.
• Carbon Monoxide–We test for the presence of carbon monoxide around the furnace. This can point to heat exchanger cracks or leaky flue pipes. On well-insulated homes, this can also point to not enough combustion air and a need for introducing additional combustion air.
