What We Do.
all inspections include:
roof condition
The roof is one of the most important components of any building, so it’s no surprise that it is at the top of any good inspection checklist. The typical shingle roof can last 15 to 30 years, depending on the shingle thickness and quality. Signs of wear and tear, such as missing shingles or water damage, and potential structural issues could lead to more expensive repairs
foundation & structure
The foundation and structure are key elements of any residence and should be inspected for signs of cracking or shifting. If there are any foundation issues, it’s important to know about them before making a purchase decision, as they can be difficult and expensive to repair.
Electrical & plumbing
The electrical and plumbing systems will be examined thoroughly to ensure they function properly, safely, and without leaks or hazards. The plumbing system is essential for carrying away waste and preventing flooding in your home. We will test all faucets and fixtures, check for leaks in pipes, examine drainage systems, and note whether water heaters are functioning properly or need replacing. The electrical system will be examined thoroughly during the home inspection to ensure it functions properly and safely. Electrical defects like frayed wires, improper grounding, or other malfunctions could cause a fire or electrical shock hazard. The safety features like ground fault circuit interrupters, smoke detectors, or carbon monoxide detectors are also inspected during this process.
mechanical systems
The mechanical systems, including water heaters and HVAC systems, only last 10 to 15 years. The inspector will ensure that all of these items are in proper working order and functioning as they should be.
water damage
Signs of water damage or mold growth indicate improper ventilation, poor drainage, or leaky pipes. These issues could required costly repairs and will be noted in the report.
other safety issues
Safety issues such as, proper railing, working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, and properly functioning doors and windows for emergency egress will be noted.
