A home can not fail an inspection. A professional home inspection gives you an independent,
unbiased view of any problems and their solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed
decision.
Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will usually take between
an hour and a half and three hours. Ideally, you will accompany your inspector during the consultation, so that you will have
visual reinforcement of your written report.
We take our inspection reports seriously. Every inspection is a complete
and thorough analysis of all the major systems and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what
we've found with any problem areas noted, so you can easily identify them. Our inspectors also provide a free telephone
consultation after your inspection.
A thorough home inspection will include the following:
~ Roof (shingles, flashings, chimneys, vents, trim and
gutters, drip edges, skylights, downspouts, and other visible roof related items)
~ Plumbing and Fixtures
(water pressure, water distribution system, hose bibs, sinks and faucets, bath/showers and toilets, sanitary system, and other
plumbing system components)
~ Heating and Cooling Systems (furnace, air cleaning parts, ductwork,
electric gas sniffer testing, air conditioner and lines, and other visible related HVAC components)
~
Basements, Crawl Spaces, and Foundation (insulation, ventilation, posts, vapor barriers, utility attachment, structural
items, floors and walls, and columns)
